In the recent legislation passed at the federal level called the “One Big Beautiful Bill” there is a one-page document called “Treatment of Direct Primary Care Services.” This one-page document will for the first time identify DPC Services as NOT insurance. We have always known this and many of the state laws regarding DPC already say this. It is so important that this is now codified into federal law for multiple reasons.
We are so excited that this has finally taken place because we now have this classification in writing for the first time. It clarifies the tax status for DPC membership payments. For the first time we can all definitively state that you can absolutely fund your HSA (Health Savings Account) and use your HSA fund to pay for DPC memberships starting in Jan 2026. A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account designed to help individuals pay for qualified medical expenses. It works by allowing individuals to contribute pre-tax dollars to the account, which can then be withdrawn tax-free to cover eligible healthcare costs. This is HUGE news and a great win for all patients and doctors in the direct primary care community.
