Indiana Senate advances bill to ban noncompete agreements for doctors, targeting primary care shortage.

Indiana's Senate has advanced a bill that would ban noncompete agreements for doctors hired after July 1, 2025, aiming to address the state's shortage of primary care physicians. These agreements often prevent doctors from practicing in their communities after changing jobs, leading to longer patient wait times, especially in rural areas. The bill also proposes to ban compensation and incentives for physicians who refer patients within the same network.
