Monthly fees under $150 per individual (or $300 per family) qualify as tax-deductible medical expenses, so you can pay with pre-tax HSA or FSA dollars.

Do I still need insurance with direct primary care in Minnesota?

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.
