Plain-language summary
This bill sets rules to make sure that health insurance plans sold or renewed in Kentucky do not accidentally lose their eligibility for use with health savings accounts under federal law. It limits certain cost-sharing requirements in insurance plans so they stay within federal guidelines that allow people to pair those plans with a health savings account. It also applies these protections to health insurance coverage for state employees. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who use or plan to use a health savings account alongside their insurance, and state government employees enrolled in state health coverage plans.
