Direct primary care practices provide primary care to patients in exchange for a monthly membership fee. Under Chapter 48.150 RCW, direct primary care practices must register with us and renew their registration annually if they: 

  • Offer direct primary health care services
  • Charge a monthly membership fee 
  • Only provide primary care 

Optometrists, dentists, and other specialty providers who don’t provide primary care services don’t need to register.
