Who needs to register

Under Chapter 48.150 RCW, you need to register as a direct primary health care practice if you:

  • Offer direct primary health care services.
  • Charge money for monthly memberships.
  • Only provide primary care.

Optometry, dental and other specialty providers usually don't offer primary care, so they don't need to register.

How to register

You can apply for free using our direct primary health care practice submission form. You need to complete all steps to submit your application.

After you apply

Once we approve your application, we will notify your primary contact by email and add your practice to our directory.

How to renew your registration

You need to renew your direct practice registration each year. We will email renewal instructions to your primary contact after July 31. Make sure we have your current email address and check it regularly. If necessary, contact us to update your email address.
