The IRS has released the 2025 Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCORI) fee amounts for health insurers and self-insured health plan sponsors. The PCORI fee is due on July 31, 2025. For plan and policy years ending between October 1, 2024, and October 1, 2025, the PCORI fee is $3.47 per covered life, up from $3.22 for the previous year. This is a $.25 increase from the amount in effect for plan and policy years ending on or after October 1, 2023, and before October 1, 2024.
PCORI fees are calculated by multiplying the applicable dollar amount for the year by the plans or policy’s average number of covered lives. These fees, established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), fund clinical effectiveness research.
Below is the fee amount per plan year.
