Bill overview
This bill, the Chronic Disease Management Act of 2021, changes how health savings accounts (HSAs) work to better support individuals with chronic illnesses. It allows high-deductible health plans to cover preventive care services and items for chronic conditions before the plan’s deductible is met. Specifically, these services must be low-cost, supported by medical evidence of effectiveness, and likely to prevent worsening of the condition or the development of more expensive complications. The bill also establishes a presumption of diagnosis if preventive care is customarily prescribed for a chronic condition.
