Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek (D) signed a bill (SB 951) imposing the toughest regulations on private and corporate control of medical practices in the country. The measure limits the amount of control health management companies can have over medical practices, with the aim of closing what supporters say is a loophole in state law allowing companies to get around the state’s 51% doctor ownership requirement for medical practices by hiring their own doctors and then using management services to direct clinic revenues to the companies. The measure also bans noncompete agreements for doctors. (OREGON CAPITAL CHRONICLE, LEXISNEXIS STATE NET)
