Primary Care Enhancement Act of 2025
This bill modifies tax rules to treat direct primary care service arrangements as deductible medical expenses. It defines such arrangements as fixed monthly fees paid directly to primary care doctors (excluding surgeries, anesthesia, or certain lab tests), with deductible amounts capped at $150 per month (adjusted annually for inflation). The law affects individuals using this care model and employers offering it, allowing them to count these fees toward medical expense deductions. It also clarifies that these arrangements are not considered health insurance for tax purposes and requires reporting fees on W-2 forms for employment-linked plans. The changes apply to months beginning after December 2025.
