HRAs (Health Reimbursement Arrangements) allow employers to:

· Control and define your dollar contributions to your healthcare plan

· Retain current health care provider, co-pays and maximum out-of-pocket expenses

· Choose a high deductible insurance plan and dramatically reduce your premiums

· Commit a defined dollar contribution for each employee’s healthcare expenses

· Allow a portion of unused employer’s contribution to be carried forward for employee’s future year’s medical expenses

· Allow a portion of unused employer’s contribution to be used for employee’s retirement medical costs

· Make employees responsible consumers of healthcare

· Switch to an HRA anytime, not just at anniversary

 

HRAs allow employees to:

· Roll over unused employer contributions from one year to the next, unlike FSAs

· Accumulate money for future healthcare needs

· Have freedom of choice of when and where they spend their healthcare dollars
