Choose: Health Savings Account contributions instead of reduced health costs.

This new law allows individuals with health insurance through Exchanges to choose between receiving contributions to a Health Savings Account (HSA) or reduced out-of-pocket medical costs. This aims to provide greater flexibility in managing healthcare expenses, especially for those with high-deductible plans.

Starting in 2025, insurers and Exchanges will provide information on this new option and how to set up and use an HSA.
