A census conducted by America's Health Insurance Plans indicates millions of consumers are taking part in health savings account-eligible insurance plans, which the organization notes can be helpful for many Americans.

According to AHIP's findings, 13.8 million U.S. residents are enrolled in HSA plans this year. This is nearly 20 percent higher than the total enrolled a year earlier, and roughly three times as many were enrolled compared to five years ago.

Between January 2011 and the same month this year, the number of large-group HSA plans jumped 26 percent. Also, the number of small-plan members increased 9 percent during that period.

Karen Ignagni, AHIP's president and CEO, stated numerous Americans are making smart choices by obtaining HSAs.

"Millions of individuals, families and employers have chosen an HSA plan for the affordable, high-quality coverage these plans provide," said Ignagni. "HSA plans are providing patients with information and resources to make more informed healthcare decisions."
