With your HRA, you can pay for eligible healthcare expenses with money that your employer contributes to your account. It’s like extra money in your pocket each year. Remaining funds in an HRA may be rolled over to the next year. Check with your benefits administrator for details about your HRA.

Your employer determines criteria for participating in an HRA. You sign up for your HRA through your employer during your Open Enrollment period. Your human resources department or benefits administrator can help you get started.

Unlike other healthcare benefit accounts, such as a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account or a Health Savings Account, you don’t make contributions to your HRA—only your employer does. An HRA is funded 100% by your employer. Ask your employer for details on the amount you’re eligible to receive under your HRA. 

Your employer determines which expenses are eligible for reimbursement. Most plans reimburse eligible expenses up to the full available balance under your HRA. If your HRA is based on an accrual, you'll only be reimbursed the amount you've earned in it.

Unlike a non-Integrated or stand-alone Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) an Integrated HRA is an employer-funded medical reimbursement plan linked with a group health insurance plan. The Integrated HRA is offered only to those at the company who take part in the group health insurance plan, as it is a supplement to help employees who elect group health insurance with their out of pocket healthcare costs. 

To be considered for reimbursement under an Integrated HRA, you will need to:

Provide the dependent’s full Social Security Number and Date of Birth.

• This information can be entered along with your claim on our website or mobile app.
• You can enter this information independent of the claim via your online account on the Profile > HRA Dependents page.
• Date of Birth (DOB) and Social Security Number (SSN) for each dependent will be saved upon entry. You will not need to re-enter the information on future claims.
• For security reasons, we do not collect this information on the Integrated HRA claim form.

Certify that the dependent was covered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant employer-sponsored group health plan (yours, your spouse’s, or their own) on the claim service date.

Use Integrated HRA Dependent form ONLY IF (1) you have not already provided the Social Security Number and Date of Birth for each dependent whose claims you want considered for payment from an Integrated HRA, AND (2) you do not intend to enter your claims online (via your online account or the WageWorks® EZ Receipts app).

• You only need to provide this information once per dependent.
• This information can be provided when you enter a claim online (via your online account or the EZ Receipts mobile app).
• Online is the most secure way to provide dependent information.

IMPORTANT: This information must be received before your dependents’ claims are processed in order for their claims to be considered for payment from an Integrated HRA.

With a variety of convenient payment options, your WageWorks HRA makes it easy for you to get reimbursed for eligible healthcare expenses determined by your employer.

Payment options include:

• Pay My Provider. Arrange for convenient direct payments to your healthcare provider. Simply log into your WageWorks account and fill out a form to have eligible expenses paid directly from your account.
• Pay Me Back. Arrange for account funds to be deposited directly into your banking account or a check to be mailed to reimburse you for eligible expenses you've already paid.
• Pay by Prepaid. Depending on your employer’s plan, you may use the convenient WageWorks Healthcare Card associated with your account to pay for eligible healthcare expenses. If you have more than one WageWorks account, this smart prepaid card knows which account to draw money from first.
