A bill for an act relating to cost sharing for health savings accounts and qualified high-deductible health plans.
HF 2185 ensures that people enrolled in qualified high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) with health savings accounts (HSAs) can maintain their HSA eligibility. It requires that copays, coinsurance, or deductibles paid by the enrollee only count toward their deductible *after* they’ve met their minimum deductible, unless the service is preventive care. This prevents cost-sharing payments from accidentally making someone ineligible for an HSA. The bill applies to group health insurance and accident/health insurance plans in Iowa.
