AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Hospital Workforce: Nearly 700 Rhode Island Hospital resident physicians and fellows ratified their first union contract, which includes a 12% base-pay increase, lower health insurance premiums and improved retirement benefits. Insurance Warning: Attorney General Peter Neronha cautioned Rhode Islanders ahead of open enrollment that some low-premium “junk” plans may not provide the protections of real health insurance. Opioid Oversight: State auditors found widespread compliance failures in opioid treatment oversight, while CVS agreed to pay $315 million to settle federal allegations that it improperly filled controlled-substance prescriptions and billed government programs. Maternal Care: A new report lists Rhode Island among 10 states with no birth centers, limiting options for people with low-risk pregnancies seeking midwife-led care.
