Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)

Tax-Free reimbursement for everyday health expenses

Overview & Eligibility

A health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) allows employers to reimburse employees tax-free for qualified medical expenses not covered by their health plan. An HRA is funded solely by the employer. Employees use HRA funds for qualified medical expenses using an Ameriflex Debit Mastercard® or by submitting a claim for reimbursement.

HRA eligibility can differ by employer depending on their needs and plan configuration. 

Employers decide how much they will put into the HRA.

Remaining balances may roll over from year to year, depending on how the employer designs the plan.
