Virginia law on DPC and self-referral
Virginia passed SB 800 in 2017, now Va. Code 54.1-2997 and 54.1-2998, which defines direct primary care agreements [2]. Separately, Virginia's Practitioner Self-Referral Act bars practitioners from referring patients to outside entities in which they or close family hold an investment, with exceptions [7]. Ask any practice whether it owns the labs or imaging centers it sends you to.
Richmond seniors and Medicare
About 14.1% of Richmond residents are 65 or older [3]. Medicare does not pay concierge membership fees; a doctor who accepts assignment cannot use the fee to charge for Medicare-covered services and must give an Advance Beneficiary Notice for noncovered items in the fee [8].
