Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)

An HRA is an employer-paid fund that reimburses you for qualified medical expenses for you and your dependents. The employer contribution is made twice per plan year. Funds are available by the end of July and January. However, unlike with an HSA, you can't make personal contributions to an HRA.

PEHP will issue you a healthcare MasterCard from which to pay medical expenses. Or, you can submit claims and be reimbursed from your HRA.

If you are ineligible for an HSA, your employer contribution will be deposited into an HRA if you choose a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), such as the STAR HSA Plan.
