Does Direct Primary Care comply with the minimum coverage requirements as set forth by the Affordable Care Act (ACA)?
Yes. When paired with a ‘wrap-around’ catastrophic medical policy, DPC services do meet the minimum requirement for coverage as set forth in the ACA. Specifically, Section 1301 (and amendment Section 10104) allows for Direct Primary Care to compete with traditional health insurance options in the health insurance exchange when combined with a low-cost, high-deductible plan.
