Preferred Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

HRAs provide employees with a specified amount of money set up in an account to help cover the cost of medical care. Your employer funds this account and you are reimbursed as qualified medical expenses occur.

 

When a medical claim applies to your deductible or an out-of-pocket expense, the HRA account funds become available to assist in paying your patient liability. Once the HRA funds are depleted, any remaining patient liability becomes the member's responsibility. If there are funds remaining in your HRA at the end of the year, some or all of the funds may be rolled-over and accessed in future years as long as you remain with your employer. You can track your HRA expenditures through a Statement of Account provided with each HRA transaction, by contacting Customer Service or by signing into myBlueCross.

 

Note: Our new Preferred Blue Account Programs are not currently available with all Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama plans. HRAs and HSAs are currently available only for employers with 500 or more employees. Continue to visit this web site for updates about expanding these benefits to more employers.
