32 32 HRA* Workflow (Medical HRA* pays first) Member sees Provider - presents ID card (no copay) - Member pays $0 Provider bills Aetna. Aetna adjudicates claim and determines what the Member owes. Is there enough money in the HRA Fund to cover the Member responsibility? Aetna pays Provider directly from the Fund. Member owes $0. Aetna pays Provider whatever it can, if anything, from the Fund and tells the Provider the exact amount to bill the Member. Provider bills Member. Member pays Provider.
