Facilitating Direct Primary Care and Health Savings Accounts

This act aims to make direct primary care more accessible by allowing its fees to be covered by Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). This could potentially lower healthcare costs and increase patient satisfaction by offering a more personalized approach to medical care. These changes may impact how citizens access and pay for their primary healthcare services.
Key points
Direct primary care (DPC) fees will be treated as eligible medical expenses for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
DPC arrangements will not be considered a health plan for HSA eligibility, provided monthly fees do not exceed $150 ($300 for family plans).
States will have an easier time approving Medicaid waiver projects that allow individuals to choose direct primary care services.
Entities offering direct primary care in health professional shortage areas will be eligible for National Health Service Corps programs.
