WITH HRAs
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is an Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

HOW HRAs WORK:HRAs are employer-owned accounts that are used by employees for specific medical expenses, such as deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, dental or vision. Contributions are made solely by the employer and unused funds are returned to the employer at the end of the plan year or may be rolled over to a subsequent plan year.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts and HealthEquity deliver a fully integrated approach to consumer-directed healthcare that combines industry-leading health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) with your health plan design. It’s a solution with easy enrollment, less paperwork, and hassle-free claims. HealthEquity is an independent and separate company partnering with Blue Cross to administeryour HRA.
It also means simplified account management; online tools, resources and education; plus the dedicated service and support that distinguishes our offerings.

Maximize benefits offerings With today’s competitive work force, exceptional benefit packages are vital to securing key talent. An HRA-enhanced health plan, supplemented with employer funds, maximizes benefits offerings while maintaining cost control.
Flexibility HRAs can be customized to fit your specific benefits strategy. You can determine the employer-funded amount, types of expenses allowed and eligibility requirements.
Encourage wellness Motivate employees to develop healthy behaviors by offering an HRA that provides an incentive for good lifestyle choices. You can reward preventative care, smoking cessation, prenatal care or other initiatives your company is passionate to promote.
Cost control Employer HRA contributions are tax-deductible. In addition, HRA funding remains under the administration of the employer and unused funds are returned at the end of each year.
Easy transition to consumer-directed healthcare HRAs are an approachable way to introduce the concept of consumer-directed healthcare to employees who are accustomed to traditional health plans. Employers are able to ease an employee’s personal responsibility for a high deductible.
