Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

How does an HRA work?

Your employer sets aside a fixed amount of money to your HRA each year for you to use. Unlike other health spending accounts, only your employer can put money into your HRA. The money is available to you at the beginning of the year. This account will help any out of pocket expenses that you have under you medical plans for the first $4,500. For every dollar that you submit you will receive 80 cents on the dollar.

This account can also be used for your dependents.
This account is administered through WEX.

Examples:

You visit Kaiser for an office visit and you are currently on the high deductible plan. Kaiser charges you $150 for the visit. You can submit a reimbursement request with the paper form below and you will receive $120 back.

A few examples of medical expenses that can be reimbursed:

• Ambulance

• Physical exams

To Get Reimbursed:

Provide a copy of your Explanation of benefits along with the completed HRA form and submit to Basic. You should receive payment within 7-10 business days.
