Easier access to chronic disease care in HSA-eligible health plans.

This Act aims to permanently codify existing IRS guidance, allowing certain chronic disease services and items to be covered by High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) linked to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) before the deductible is met. This change ensures that individuals with chronic conditions can access necessary care and medications sooner, reducing their initial out-of-pocket costs and improving health management.
Key points
Treatment for chronic conditions (including specific drugs and services) is classified as preventive care in HSA/HDHP health plans.
Citizens can access these services and items without first meeting the high deductible threshold, lowering immediate financial burdens.
The bill codifies IRS Notice 2019-45, providing legal certainty and permanence to these health coverage rules.
