Understanding Medical Reimbursement Plans

Medical reimbursement plans, particularly health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs), can allow medical professionals to reimburse themselves for qualified expenses with pre-tax dollars. They must be used alongside health insurance and can effectively lower deductibles for high-deductible health plans. For instance, an HRA may cover a significant portion of the deductible, reducing direct out-of-pocket costs for the employee. However, it is essential to assess the fees associated with implementing such a plan to ensure it remains beneficial.
