Strategy: HSA-Compatible DPC Opens New Revenue Channel for FQHCs Starting Jan 2026
H.R. 1 (OBBBA) made Direct Primary Care (DPC) memberships HSA-eligible starting January 1, 2026 — up to $150/mo individual, $300/mo family.
For FQHCs: this creates a subscription revenue stream from commercially insured/HSA-eligible patients alongside existing PPS.
Some FQHCs already generate $300K+/year from 500 subscription members. Action: (1) Explore DPC-overlay pricing for non-Medicaid patients. (2) Partner with local employers for direct primary care contracts.
(3) Model revenue impact of 200-500 DPC subscribers. (4) Ensure PPS compliance — DPC fees must not conflict with sliding fee scale or HRSA requirements.
