The recently passed HR1 includes a crucial provision clarifying the "Treatment of Direct Primary Care Service Arrangements," resolving a decade-long ambiguity surrounding DPC and HSAs. This legislation explicitly permits individuals with high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to both contribute to their HSAs and use those funds for DPC membership fees.


Previously, DPC arrangements could jeopardize HSA eligibility, forcing patients to choose between DPC and HSA tax benefits. HR1's "Treatment of Direct Primary Care Service Arrangements" page reclassifies DPC as not a "health plan" for HSA purposes. It further designates DPC fees as qualified medical expenses fundable by HSAs.


This change offers several key benefits: enhanced access to DPC for more patients, greater financial flexibility by combining HDHPs and DPC with HSA funds, reduced administrative burden for both patients and DPC practices, and ultimately, empowers patient choice in healthcare decisions. This legislative victory is expected to significantly expand DPC's reach, making it a more attractive and accessible primary care option.
