Summary of Bill S 1512

The DIRECT Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 s 1512, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address issues related to direct primary care, which is a healthcare model where patients pay a monthly fee to their primary care physician for unlimited access to primary care services.

The DIRECT Act aims to clarify the regulatory status of direct primary care arrangements and ensure that they are not subject to certain insurance regulations. This would allow for greater flexibility and innovation in the delivery of primary care services, potentially leading to improved access and quality of care for patients.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to expand the use of health savings accounts (HSAs) to cover direct primary care services, making it easier for individuals to afford this type of care. It also seeks to promote transparency and accountability in direct primary care arrangements by requiring providers to disclose certain information to patients. Overall, the DIRECT Act of 2023 is aimed at promoting and supporting the growth of direct primary care as a viable healthcare option for individuals. It seeks to remove barriers and provide incentives for both patients and providers to participate in this model of care, with the ultimate goal of improving the overall healthcare system in the United States.
