Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs)
Helping employees maximize their healthcare dollars
An HRA is an employer-funded, tax advantaged health benefit used to reimburse employees for out-of-pocket medical expenses and personal health insurance premiums.
Through HRAs, employers reimburse employees directly only after the employees incur approved medical expenses. This feature is especially helpful for businesses that want to retain control over their cash flow.
