The middle half of the 42 Direct Primary Care practices with published adult prices in Illinois charge between $60 and $84 a month. 54 of the 55 DPC practices (98%) are currently accepting new patients. 30 of the 55 DPC practices offer telehealth visits, useful for residents in rural counties or for follow-up care between in-person appointments. Coverage now reaches 39 Illinois cities, so most patients can find a DPC option within driving distance. At $75 a month, the median Illinois membership is about the same as the national median of $75.

Regulatory note for Illinois: Illinois does not currently have a DPC-specific statute on the books; practices operate under the state's general medical practice framework, with patient agreements treated as private contracts.

Yes. Since January 1, 2026, Direct Primary Care membership fees are qualified medical expenses under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, so you can pay them tax-free from a Health Savings Account. If the membership is $150 a month or less for one person ($300 for a plan covering more than one), you also keep the right to contribute to your HSA while enrolled; above that, an HSA can still pay the fee, but you cannot contribute for the months you are enrolled. You still need an HSA-eligible high-deductible health plan to contribute, and FSA or HRA reimbursement depends on the rules of your plan.
Direct Primary Care covers everyday primary care, but most members still keep a high-deductible or catastrophic insurance plan (or a health sharing plan) for emergencies, hospitalizations, and specialist care. DPC handles routine and preventive visits; insurance covers the big, unexpected costs.
All 66 direct primary care providers in Illinois are verified against the U.S. federal NPPES (National Provider Identifier) registry maintained by CMS.
Our direct primary care guidance draws on the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and DPC Frontier.
