Title: Data on Enrollment, Premiums, and Cost-Sharing in HSA-Qualified Health Plans
Authors: Chris L. Peterson, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: This report analyzes findings about enrollment in HSA-qualified HDHPs. It must be noted that enrollment in HSA-qualified HDHPs is not the same as actually having an HSA account. Individuals may enroll in an HSAqualified HDHP without setting up an HSA. In addition, individuals may have an HSA without contributing to it. The available estimates show the number of people enrolled in HSA-qualified HDHPs, but provide little insight into whether individuals set up HSAs and, if so, whether they contribute. According to the latest estimates from America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), nearly 3.2 million individuals were covered by an HSA-qualified HDHP in January 2006.
