Preventive Care Can Now Be Covered for Specified Chronic Conditions Before HDHP Deductible https://t.co/TTjgEGqf3q— Healthcare Reform (@Health_Reforms) August 12, 2019
So what does this mean, exactly?
Well:
ACA-compliant pans have certain features and rules, one of which is that chronic care can’t be considered a first-dollar expense. That is, unlike, say, a routine physical, chronic are expenses must first be applied to one’s deductible anbd co-insurance (if any). Turns out that a lot of folks who actually suffer from these issues would like relief from this requirement.
This becomes a problem for HSA policy holders, because doing that would render their plans non-compliant (and result in all kinds of nasty consequences). And so, the generous folks at the IRS have issued a ruling that reverses (or negates) that, and specifically allows such plans to cover some chronic expenses “first dollar.”
Which is nice, but just as insurance ≠ care, coverage ≠ “free.”
Hunh?
Well, according to the folks at Snell & Wilmer, this notice now provides “free preventive care for certain chronic conditions.”
Really?
And how do the physicians who actually provide it feel about working gratis?
And then this little gem:
“Employers that want to take advantage of these new rules may need to adopt plan amendments and prepare employee communications explaining the new rules.”
Oh, because compliance is already such a bargain; I’m sure they’re just chompin’ at the bit.
