SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#HSA–Today, Lively, Inc. marks the signature of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) into law, a major bill that expands access and flexibility for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Under the new law, millions of Americans enrolled in Bronze or Catastrophic ACA plans are now eligible to contribute to HSAs starting January 1, 2026, and key innovations like telehealth services and Direct Primary Care are officially HSA-qualified expenses.

Lively, a top-rated health and lifestyle benefits platform* known for building the modern Health Savings Account (HSA), is uniquely positioned to support individuals, employers, and brokers navigating this new era. Lively’s platform already connects with over 95% of U.S. health plans and integrates seamlessly with Direct Primary Care models and virtual-first providers.

“In a world of rising out-of-pocket costs, HSAs are the most powerful way to take control of US consumer healthcare finances. This isn’t just a policy shift—it’s a redefinition of how Americans can save, spend, and stay healthy,” said Alex Cyriac, CEO and co-founder of Lively. “At Lively, we’ve built a platform that’s flexible, intelligent, and ready for this next generation of benefits.”
