Bill > HR5452

This bill, titled the Native American Health Savings Improvement Act, amends the Internal Revenue Code to ensure that Native Americans who receive medical care through the Indian Health Service (IHS) or a tribal organization are not disqualified from contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA). HSAs are tax-advantaged savings accounts specifically for medical expenses, and eligibility typically requires having a high-deductible health plan and not being covered by other health insurance that isn't a high-deductible plan. The bill clarifies that receiving care from the IHS or a tribal organization, which is a form of medical assistance, does not count as disqualifying "other coverage" for HSA purposes, thereby allowing these individuals to benefit from HSAs.
