One Person – Health Reimbursement Arrangement

$425.00

A One-Person Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is a powerful and tax-efficient way for churches—to cover healthcare costs while maximizing tax savings. With an HRA in place, the church establishes a formal plan that allows them to reimburse an employee for a wide range of qualified medical expenses.

These reimbursable expenses can include:

  • Health insurance premiums (individual or family coverage)
  • Co-pays and deductibles
  • Prescription medications
  • Vision care, including exams, glasses, and contacts
  • Dental treatments such as cleanings, fillings, and orthodontics
  • Chiropractic care and other eligible therapies
  • Long-term care services
  • Medically necessary over-the-counter medications (subject to plan guidelines)

The church sets the reimbursement limits and plan design, giving flexibility and control over healthcare spending. As expenses are incurred, the HRA reimburses the employee tax-free, provided they meet IRS-qualified medical expense criteria.

One of the most valuable advantages of an HRA is its favorable tax treatment:

  • Reimbursements are tax-free to the employee, increasing their effective compensation without increasing tax burden.

The church can significantly lower benefit costs compared to traditional group health insurance, while the employee receives a more customized and a benefits package.
