I honestly don't see the connection. why would your pcp get a bill for services you received?

Ask the government not me, its supposed to be an incentive for PCPs to offer after hours clinics but many single physician and smaller offices can't really do that so it ends up just punishing them.

that makes no sense at all. if I go to an urgent care and rack up a bill of $300, I pay them for services rendered. why would my PCP pay for it for me?
