Mr. HSA Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I have became aware of recent bulletins from the insurance regulators in several states that appear to require health insurers to cover treatment (and testing) related to monkeypox without cost-sharing during the public health emergency (PHE) declared by the federal government for monkeypox. I am not aware that the federal PHE declaration for monkeypox requires insurers to cover testing and treatment for monkeypox, so this appears to be an action initiated by state regulators. Unfortunately, some of these bulletins provide no exception for HSA-qualified plans so I'm concerned that both bulletins are problematic for HSA account owners with state-regulated HDHPs. Has anyone else come across these situations?
