Primary Care Enhancement Act of 2023
This bill changes tax rules to treat direct primary care (DPC) membership fees as deductible medical expenses. It defines DPC as a fixed monthly fee (capped at $150 per person, $300 for families) for primary care services only, excluding procedures requiring anesthesia, prescription drugs (except vaccines), or lab tests. The law ensures these fees can be claimed on tax returns like other medical costs, while clarifying DPC arrangements aren’t considered health insurance plans. It applies to fees paid for DPC services provided through employment or directly to patients, effective for 2024 tax years.
