Health Reimbursement Arrangements also known as HRAs, are funds that are provided by employers to reimburse employees for qualified medical expenses HRAs are one of the linchpins of Consumer Driven Health Care to combat the rising costs of health insurance premiums, for employers and employees alike The employer provides the funds, not the employees; the employer designates the HRA contribution amount and the Plan design HRA funds are tax free to employees A portion of the unused funds may be rolled over at the end of the plan year Because all monies in an HRA are employer funded, HRAs funds usually remain with the employer and do not follow an employee upon termination

4. Advantages of HRAs for Employers/Employees Advantages of HRAs for employers: Benefit Cost savings from using the plan Future cost savings can be planned for Qualified reimbursement claims are tax deductible for the employer. Employers know their maximum cost exposure and projected cost to provide a health care benefit. HRAs can be combined with another employer based health plan like a Flexible Spending Account (FSAs) to achieve greater cost savings. Advantages of HRAs for employees: Reimbursements are tax-free to the employee as long as the funds are used for medical expenses Some unused funds in the HRA may be rolled over the next year for reimbursement.
