Using a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA)
- An HRA is an account funded by your employer as part of the company's
health benefits.
- You can use money from the HRA to cover qualified health care expenses
for yourself and for your dependents until you meet the deductible. Then Priority Health starts paying expenses covered by your health plan.
- HRA dollars
belong to your employer. If you haven't used all the funds available to you in the HRA account at the end
of the plan year, your employer might choose to 'roll over' those funds into the
next year, but it's not required.
- If you leave the company, you may receive COBRA benefits from
the HRA.
Direct payments mean less paperwork
- When Priority Health receives a claim from a doctor or other health
care provider, we automatically check your HRA balance.
- If money is available, we pay the health care provider directly from
the HRA account. The payment will either fully or partially cover the
bill.
- You don't have to file additional paperwork, and providers
are paid promptly.
- You'll receive a simple statement for each
service. It will show you how much HRA money you have spent to date, and what your deductible balance is.
