PROPOSEDPROPOSED BILLMaineMEDIUM IMPACT

Proposed Increase in Access to Primary Care by Physician Associates

⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.

This proposed bill would increase access to primary care services provided by physician associates in Maine. Before this change, the scope of practice for physician associates may have been more limited or restricted in some way that could affect their ability to provide primary care independently. If enacted, the law would allow physician associates to offer a wider range of primary care services, potentially making healthcare more accessible to patients who might otherwise struggle to see a doctor. This change is expected to impact both healthcare providers and patients seeking primary care services. The exact effective date has not been specified.
