Act No.
2026-298Effective Date Certain
This act is the Health Savings Account State-Federal Regulatory Coordination Act. This act adds Article 5 to Chapter 19, Title 27, Code of Alabama 1975, to provide that if under federal law any cost-sharing requirement of the Insurance Code would cause an enrollee's health insurance plan to not qualify as a high-deductible plan allowing contributions to a Health Savings Account, then the cost-sharing requirement shall only apply to the enrollee's plan once the minimum federal deductible has been applied. This act also amends Sections 10A-20-6.16 and 27-21A-23, Code of Alabama 1975, to subject insurance companies organized under Article 6 of Chapter 20, Tittle 10A, Code of Alabama 1975, and health maintenance organizations to this requirement.
