 To offer a direct primary care service, the primary care provider must obtain a completed direct primary care agreement for each patient obtaining direct primary care services. In order to be considered a direct primary care agreement for the purposes of this section, the direct primary care agreement must meet all of the following requirements:   Be in writing;   Be signed by the individual patient or his or her legal representative and be made available for the records of the primary care provider or agent of the primary care provider;   Allow either party to terminate the agreement on written notice to the other party;   Describe the scope of primary care services that are covered by the periodic fee;   Specify the periodic fee for ongoing care under the agreement;   Specify the duration of the agreement, any automatic renewal periods, and prohibit the prepayment of the agreement.

So long as the direct primary care provider provides the patient notice and opportunity to obtain care from another physician, the direct primary care provider may discontinue care for direct primary care patients if:   The patient fails to pay the periodic fee;   The patient has performed an act of fraud;   The patient repeatedly fails to adhere to the recommended treatment plan;   The patient is abusive and presents an emotional or physical danger to the staff or other patients of the direct practice;   The direct primary care provider discontinues operation as a direct primary care provider; or   The direct primary care physician feels that the relationship is no longer therapeutic for the patient due to a dysfunctional physician/patient relationship.
