Big news for DPC and for small businesses!
New federal regulations are paving the way for employers to offer Direct Primary Care (DPC) as a core health benefit—with significant tax advantages and cost-saving potential for individuals, too.
Starting January 1, 2026, DPC memberships will be HSA-compatible.
Why this matters:
• For small businesses – Offering DPC as a benefit just got easier and more tax-efficient, helping you support employee health while keeping healthcare costs predictable.
• For individuals & employees – You can now use your tax-free HSA dollars to cover your DPC membership:
* Up to $150/month for individuals
* Up to $300/month for families
Employers now have a new opportunity to offer DPC as part of a compliant, tax-advantaged health plan.
Recent federal guidance has opened the door for what many are calling a “Custom Health Option”—a flexible, patient-centered alternative to traditional insurance, focused on affordability and easy access to care.
• New tax incentives are available to employers who integrate DPC into their benefit offerings, helping to offset costs while improving care.
• Bronze & Catastrophic ACA plans are HSA-eligible as of 2026
At the same time, public coverage is shrinking—with millions of lower-wage workers losing access to Medicaid and Marketplace premiums continuing to rise, employers are urgently seeking better, more sustainable options.
