Easier Access to Primary Care and Tax Benefits
This act makes it easier to use direct primary care services, which involve a fixed periodic fee, by treating them as deductible medical expenses. Additionally, these arrangements will no longer disqualify contributions to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), potentially lowering healthcare costs for many. Employers will also be required to report these fees on W-2 forms.
Key points
Fees for direct primary care (DPC) services will be treated as medical expenses, potentially allowing for tax deductions.
Having a DPC arrangement will not prevent individuals from contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA).
The monthly amount of DPC fees that can be deducted is capped at $150 per individual ($300 for arrangements covering more than one person), with future indexing.
Employers will be required to report DPC fees on W-2 forms if provided in connection with employment.
