Health Reimbursement Arrangement Features
If you are enrolled in a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) for 2020 and enroll in a Health Savings Account (HSA) for 2021, the funds remaining in your HRA as of December 31, 2020, may be eligible to be suspended and used for eligible dental and/or vision expenses. There are specific IRS regulations when HRA participants enroll in an HSA. For additional information, please contact the District’s Benefits Specialist at (816) 986-1046.
Upon enrollment into a HRA, you will receive an enrollment packet which will contain additional information.
You can use money set aside in your HRA account for eligible medical expenses incurred by you, and your spouse or your children IF they are enrolled in the District HDHP plan with you. This includes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease or treatment for any part or function of the body. Cosmetic medical expenses, such as facelifts or hair removal, are not eligible. Expenses that benefit general health, such as vacation or health club memberships are also not eligible. Remember to keep your receipts and/or other documentation in case it is needed to verify the medical expense. Some items may require additional documentation such as a letter from your medical provider. Use the lists below for reference, but keep in mind these lists do not include all eligible/ineligible expenses.
