The bill amends several sections of the General Laws under Chapter 23-17.30, which pertains to the "Primary Care Training Sites Program." Key insertions include the definitions of the "Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care" (AAAHC) and the "Office of health insurance commissioner" (OHIC), which is granted the authority to designate patient-centered medical homes (PCMH). Additionally, the bill specifies that primary care sites must achieve and maintain NCQA PCMH distinction or be recognized by the OHIC or other appropriate entities, such as the joint commission on AAAHC. The bill also modifies the training requirements for primary care sites, changing the minimum didactic training from a fixed number of hours to "up to five hours."

Furthermore, the bill grants the director of the department of health the authority to enter into contracts for medical education at primary care practice sites, with a cap of $90,000 per site per year. The director is also given the discretion to promulgate rules and regulations to implement the provisions of this chapter, rather than being mandated to do so. This act is set to take effect upon passage, aiming to enhance the quality of primary care training and improve health outcomes through structured accreditation and training standards.
