How to Use Your HRA — Overview
This article applies to you if you have a Via Benefits reimbursement account (sometimes know as a Health Reimbursement Arrangement)*.
Congratulations, your HRA is set up!
Now that your HRA is set up, you can submit expenses for reimbursement. You need to submit a reimbursement request to receive funds from your reimbursement account for your eligible expenses. Use the Via Benefits Accounts mobile app or the website to easily submit reimbursement requests.
If you're Medicare-eligible, you may have the option of using Automatic Premium Reimbursement. Automatic Premium Reimbursement allows you to receive your premium expense reimbursements monthly, without submitting a reimbursement request. If you don't have Automatic Premium Reimbursement turned on, you have two other options for submitting your reimbursement requests, Express Reimbursement or Recurring Premium Reimbursement (if your former employer allows it). Both services allow you to submit an initial reimbursement request and then receive your premium expense reimbursements monthly. With these convenient options for receiving your premium reimbursement, no debit card is needed.
There may be limitations on who can receive reimbursements from your account. If you'd like to know who can be reimbursed from your account, please call us.
