Watch this brief video to learn about health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and how they work.
An 橙子视频app HRA means smarter support for your health care spending
A health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) is a tax-free account funded by your employer to help you pay for qualified medical expenses. While the account is owned by your employer, the funds are there to support your health care needs throughout the plan year.
Additional HRA benefits include:
- Your employer contributes to the account—no money comes out of your paycheck
- Funds can be used for eligible expenses like copays, prescriptions, and dental or vision care
- You don’t pay taxes on the money used for qualified medical expenses
- Some HRAs may allow unused funds to roll over to the next year, depending on your plan
- No need to set up or manage the account—your employer handles it for you

Frequently asked questions about HRAs
The amount your employer contributes to your Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) depends on the type of HRA plan they offer and their specific plan design. Employers have significant flexibility in setting contribution amounts, but some HRA types have annual limits.
For example, in 2025:
- Qualified Small Employer HRA (QSEHRA): Employers can contribute up to $6,350 per year for self-only coverage and $12,800 per year for family coverage
- Excepted Benefit HRA (EBHRA): The maximum contribution is $2,150 per year
- Individual Coverage HRA (ICHRA): There is no federal limit, and employers can set any amount they choose, as long as it complies with nondiscrimination rules
To know your exact contribution amount, check your plan documents or contact your HR or benefits administrator.
Yes, you can use a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) if you have health insurance. In fact, HRAs are designed to work alongside your health insurance plan. They help cover qualified medical expenses that your insurance doesn’t fully pay for—such as deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and other eligible out-of-pocket costs.
Some types of HRAs, like Individual Coverage HRAs (ICHRAs), even require that you be enrolled in a qualifying health insurance plan to participate. Always check your specific plan details to understand how your HRA coordinates with your insurance coverage.
A health savings account or HSA is a tax-advantaged account that helps you pay for qualified medical expenses. Contributions to an HSA are made primarily by the employee – although employers may also contribute. Regardless, HSA funds are yours to spend forever — even if you retire, change jobs or change health plans.

The main difference between HRAs and FSAs is the funding. HRAs are funded solely by employers, while FSAs are typically funded by the employee, usually through pre-tax, payroll deductions.
Your HRA funds can be used to pay for a variety of qualified medical expenses – like doctor's co-pays, lab fees, over-the-counter medications, medical equipment, prescription drugs, eyewear, and more.
Essentially, HRAs are designed to help cover out-of-pocket healthcare costs not covered by your insurance plan.
It depends on your employer’s specific HRA plan. Some HRA plans allow unused funds to roll over from year to year, while others follow a “use-it-or-lose-it” policy. The decision to permit rollovers is entirely up to the employer.
For example, certain types of HRAs—like Individual Coverage HRAs (ICHRAs) and Qualified Small Employer HRAs (QSEHRAs)—may allow monthly or annual rollovers, but again, this is at the employer’s discretion.
To find out whether your HRA includes a rollover feature, it’s best to review your plan documents or speak with your benefits administrator.
