In this video, we explain how a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) works:

  • HRAs are entirely employer-funded accounts for employee healthcare expenses.

  • They are designed to reimburse employees for out-of-pocket medical costs, not to collect contributions from them.

  • HRAs can significantly reduce the financial impact of high deductibles on employees.

  • The specifics of HRA reimbursement and eligible expenses can vary, so employees should familiarize themselves with their particular plan details.

  • Understanding your HRA's structure and rules is essential for maximizing its benefits.
