Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA)ASD is pleased to offer you a Health Reimbursement Arrangement. This is an employer owned and funded account. Employees may not make contributions to this account. Because the account is employer owned, when your employment ends or you are no longer enrolled in this plan, the money in your HRA stays with the employer unless you elect COBRA. You do not need to submit any claims, when you receive medical care. Your provider will bill Aetna, who will automatically use the HRA funds to pay your claims until your HRA funds are exhausted. .If you use all of the money in your HRA, you are responsible for the remaining portion of the deductible before the plan pays coinsurance. Any remaining HRA funds will be rolled over to the next plan year.
