What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Employee Access to Worksite Health Services Act," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to clarify the eligibility of individuals to make pre-tax contributions to a health savings account. Specifically, it addresses individuals who receive certain healthcare services at a worksite clinic. The amendment ensures that receiving these services at an employer-owned or operated facility does not disqualify a person from certain health plan treatments under the code.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Clarification of HSA Eligibility: The bill clarifies that an individual is not treated as covered under specific health plans merely because they receive certain services at a healthcare facility owned or leased by their employer or operated for the benefit of employees (Section 2, subsection a, clause i). This could allow people to continue making pre-sact contributions to a health savings account even if they use these on-site services.
-
Access to Specific Health Services: The bill defines "qualified items and services" that can be received at these worksite facilities, which include physical examinations, immunizations, certain drugs or biologicals, treatment for work-related injuries, preventive care for chronic conditions, drug testing, and hearing or vision screenings (Section 2, subsection a, clause ii).
