HRA Types & Comparisons

November 20, 2025, 3:00 ET

With many different permitted types of Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs), employers have a wide array of options to provide tax-favored reimbursement for qualifying medical expenses to employees and their family members. But each HRA type has its own compliance requirements, eligibility rules, and strategic use cases. This month’s webinar will discuss many different HRA types, including HRAs integrated with group medical plans, excepted benefit HRAs, qualified small employer HRAs, individual coverage HRAs, and retiree-only HRAs. We’ll explore how each type works, when it might be a good fit, and what employers need to know to stay compliant.
