This legislation aims to codify specific guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, formally incorporating IRS Notice 2019-45 into law. This notice addresses the treatment of certain services and items for chronic conditions, ensuring they are recognized as preventive care . By doing so, the bill allows individuals with high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) linked to health savings accounts (HSAs) to receive coverage for these chronic condition-related services before meeting their deductible. This provision is intended to improve access to essential care for those managing chronic diseases. The Act also clarifies that this codification does not create any inference regarding other existing or future IRS rules or guidance concerning preventive services for HDHPs.
