Bill overview
This bill, the Chronic Disease Management Act of 2019, aims to improve healthcare for individuals with chronic illnesses by modifying tax laws. It allows high-deductible health plans to cover preventive services related to chronic diseases before a patient meets their plan’s deductible. The legislation seeks to encourage proactive care and improve health outcomes for those managing chronic conditions, aligning with Value-Based Insurance Design principles. It does this by clarifying the definition of ‘preventive care’ within existing tax code.
