Yes! As a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law effective January 1, 2026, all Bronze and *Catastrophic health plans offered through Access Health CT are now Health Savings Account (HSA) eligible. 

Funds deposited into a Health Savings Account can be used to cover health care costs, like deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Most importantly, contributing to an HSA can also offer a reduction to an individual or family's annual tax burden. 

Benefits of an HSA:

• HSA contributions are tax-deductible meaning they reduce your annual taxable income. 
• Tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses such as doctor visits, prescription drugs, dental care, and vision care. 
• Accumulated amounts roll over year to year (no use it or lose it). 
• Funds in the HSA are yours. When you change jobs, your HSA funds travel with you. 
• Existing HSAs can be used, or a new account can be established. 

What do you need to do:

1.  Enroll in a plan that is specifically eligible to be used with a Health Savings Account, like any Bronze or Catastrophic* plan or another Marketplace plan that is designated as eligible for a Health Savings Account. 

2. Research and select a financial institution that offers Health Savings Account's. Before selecting an institution, compare the associated fees and investment options. 

 *Catastrophic plans are available to people under 30 or those over 30 who qualify for hardship or affordability exemptions.
