The bill revises the Montana Health Corps Act to expand eligibility for services provided by Health Corps physicians. It allows the Board of Medical Examiners to offer medical malpractice insurance to Health Corps members and introduces a fee for physicians who utilize this board-purchased insurance. Additionally, the bill amends the application fee for initial enrollment in the Health Corps program and includes a new definition relevant to the Act.

Furthermore, the bill grants rulemaking authority to ensure effective implementation of these changes. It amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 27-1-736, 37-3-203, 37-3-802, 37-3-803, 37-3-804, and 37-3-805, to reflect these updates. The bill also establishes an effective date and an applicability date for the new provisions.
