Josh Wheeler presented H 655, a twelve-month Medicaid exemption preceptor pilot limited to three specialties and capped at 100 providers per specialty; the committee held H 655 but introduced RS 33527, expanding eligibility to advanced practice providers and physician assistants and sending it to Second Reading by voice vote.
Rep. Josh Wheeler presented H 655, a proposal for a twelve-month Medicaid exemption preceptor pilot intended to give physicians more time to train medical students. The pilot applied to three specialties, capped each specialty at 100 providers, and said outcomes would be evaluated.
The committee voted to hold H 655 in committee on a motion by Rep. Rubel. Wheeler then presented RS 33527 as a replacement measure that would include advanced practice providers and physician assistants while keeping the specialty provider cap. Rep. Redman moved to introduce RS 33527 and recommend it be sent directly to the Second Reading Calendar; the motion carried by voice vote, though Rep. Burgoyne asked to be recorded as voting Nay. Rep. Wheeler will sponsor the bill on the floor.
