Subject: Please Support H.1343 – Expanding Access to Direct Primary Care
Dear [Representative's Name],
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to ask for your support in co-sponsoring H.1343 – An Act Relative to Direct Primary Care, filed by Representative Thomas Walsh. As a Massachusetts resident and patient, this bill would make a meaningful difference in how I—and many others—access and experience healthcare.
H.1343 strengthens the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model by allowing patients to receive specialist referrals that are covered by insurance, even when their DPC physician isn’t in the insurance network. This simple change gives patients more choice and flexibility in managing their care.
The bill would also allow DPC physicians to dispense medications directly at the point of care. For patients like me, this would save time, lower out-of-pocket costs, and help address growing concerns about pharmacy access, especially in areas affected by closures.
Your support of this bill would help make our healthcare system more accessible, affordable, and patient-centered. I appreciate your consideration and hope you’ll join as a co-sponsor of H.1343.
Thank you for your time and service.
Warmly,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Town or City]
