IRS Pushes to Eliminate Direct Primary Care

ST. PAUL, Minn. —Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF) says a new proposed federal regulation from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) goes the wrong way, classifying Direct Primary Care (DPC) and Healthcare Sharing Ministries as “insurance.”

Individual Rights in Declared Emergencies

As exemplified during the COVID-19 outbreak, state governments have significant control over private citizens during a declared emergency. This language, currently in Minnesota Statute 12.39, specifically prohibits forced treatment, vaccinations, specimen collection and more while requiring individuals to be notified of that right to refuse. 

Universal Patient Data Consent Form

This language establishes a mandatory patient consent form for health information sharing. It allows a patient to share as much or as little information as they desire using “Yes” and “No” options for each requested data-share. Definitions attached to the form educate patients on how the information could be used allowing for more informed decision-making.

PMP Audits, Appropriate Access and Patient Access

State Prescription Monitoring Programs (PMPs) collect a significant amount of data on patients. In 2019, Minnesota lawmakers passed a bill to require quarterly audits of the database to ensure program integrity and appropriate access. The law also requires designee’s access to be terminated when employment ends. It also permits individuals to view who accessed their data.

Non-Coercive Patient Consent Required

Because HIPAA does not adequately protect patient privacy and consent, or control over private health information, but allows stronger state privacy laws, state legislators should consider passing patient consent requirements for sharing protected health information, and prohibiting a provider from refusing to treat a patient who exercises their right to not share information or to modify consent forms to limit data-sharing.
