Easier Health Savings Accounts with Direct Primary Care

This act aims to make it easier for citizens to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) by changing the rules for direct primary care service arrangements. Individuals with such arrangements will still be eligible to contribute to their HSAs, and fees for these services will be treated as medical expenses. These changes could impact how primary healthcare is financed and offer more flexibility in managing healthcare costs.
Key points
Individuals with direct primary care (DPC) service arrangements will remain eligible to contribute to their Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
Fees for direct primary care service arrangements will be treated as medical expenses, potentially allowing for tax deductions.
A monthly fee limit for DPC arrangements is introduced ($150 for an individual, $300 for arrangements covering more than one individual) beyond which the arrangement will not qualify for these benefits.
Certain services, such as procedures requiring general anesthesia, prescription drugs (other than vaccines), and some lab services, are excluded from being considered primary care services under DPC.
