HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT
ACCOUNTS

A health reimbursement account (HRA) is a financial account you set up to reimburse employees for expenses not paid for by insurance, such as deductibles and co-insurance. You decide how much you want to contribute to your employees’ HRAs and what happens to unused funds if an employee leaves the plan or your company.
