HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT (HRA) The Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is administered through Proficient Benefits Solutions. An HRA is an employer sponsored benefit contributed 100% by the EAA and is designed to help offset medical expenses incurred by you. The HRA functions the same as an FSA plan. Even if you do not elect medical and dental coverage for your dependents, you can still utilize your HRA funds to cover their eligible expenses. The HRA contribution provided by the EAA is tied to the medical plan elected. Employees who elect the HDHP plan, are eligible to enroll in the medical HRA and a dental/vision HRA. Employees who elect the NPOS plan, are only eligible to enroll in the Medical HRA.
Please refer to the table on the right for annual maximum contribution. As mentioned, for new hires, this contribution amount is prorated. The prorated amount is determined by the number of full months from an employee’s hire date. For example, if you are hired on July 5th and elect the NPOS plan, then the HRA amount will be 5/12th of the annual contribution ($1000/12 X 5 = 416.67). Amounts are also prorated for the dental/vision HRA. HRA ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION January 1 Medical HRA Dental/Vision HRA

HRA funds must be reimbursed during the plan year in which the expense was incurred. For example, expenses incurred in plan year 2020, must be reimbursed from funds during the same year (2020). Claims are processed by Proficient Benefit Solutions.
