WI Gov’s Veto of Insurance Reg Exemption for Direct Primary Care Doctors

Evers Vetoes Insurance Reg Exemption for Direct Primary Care Doctors

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed a bill (SB 4) that would have exempted primary care doctors who provide care to patients who are billed directly and pay a monthly membership fee from regulation as part of the insurance industry. Evers said in his veto message that the measure failed to provide sufficient protections for patients receiving care at such clinics, which have grown in popularity over the last few years.
