An Act protecting the interests of patients in the event of the sale, relocation or closure of certain physician practices

HD 4028 requires physician practices with more than 10 doctors to give patients 90 days' written notice before closing, relocating, or selling, with continued care for 90 days. It also mandates 180 days' advance notice to the state health department, which may hold hearings to assess impacts on patient access and alternatives. Practices must provide patients with resources to find new care and ensure medical records transfer to a designated entity. The bill creates a registry for large practices, requiring registration by October 2026.
