HR 919

This bill aims to permanently extend a recent IRS ruling that allows high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) to cover certain chronic disease treatments without requiring a deductible or with a low deductible. Currently, HDHPs must have a deductible above a specific amount to be considered health savings account-eligible. The bill codifies the IRS’s guidance, expanding the list of preventive care services covered under HDHPs to include medications and monitoring tools for conditions like heart failure, diabetes, osteoporosis, and asthma. This would give more people access to these treatments without incurring a significant deductible.
