HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENTS:
TAX-ADVANTAGED, EMPLOYER-SPONSORED BENEFITS
What is an HRA? The Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is a great addition to any benefits package because it allows employers to reduce healthcare-related expenses for their employees by providing an employer contribution to be used for out-of-pocket costs. And, by opting for a less expensive consumer-driven health plan, employers can use the money saved through the plan to fund employee HRAs with tax-free dollars. This gives employees control of their healthcare dollars.
The HRA is an employer-sponsored benefit, and with a fully customizable plan design, the employer has the flexibility to set which expenses will be eligible under the benefit. We recognize that every employer has different needs, which is why Discovery Benefits offers a wide variety of HRA plan designs.
Our HRA solutions include Individual Coverage HRAs (ICHRAs), which were introduced in 2020. We have the technology and integrations already in place to service and simplify the administration of these plans. Your employees can pair an ICHRA with Discovery Marketplace to find affordable insurance plans in your area.
