How do integrated claims benefit employees enrolled in an HRA?Your employees’ claims information is fed directly to their online portal. This allows them to make payments or request reimbursement on claims that are already verified, which results in faster processing.

Who pays the monthly HRA administration fee?The employer pays the monthly HRA administration fee.

Who owns the account?Technically, the account funds are owned by the employer until a qualified expense is incurred. HRA members have access to the funds for the duration of the plan year and any applicable grace period. After that, unused funds can be rolled to the next plan year or are returned to the employer and can be used to pay administration expenses.

How do I manage the HRA program moving forward?Upon group enrollment, you will have access to the secure HealthEquity employer portal. Its features allow you to:

• Create additional logins for your staff with role-based permission levels and email preferences

• Set up banking information• View employee listing with status, coverage level and coverage dates• Generate reports and create system alerts
