Webinars for Employers on Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements
As of January 1, 2020, employers can provide their workers with tax-preferred funds to pay for the cost of individual market health insurance coverage through individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs).
To help employers learn more about this new option available to them, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) is hosting webinars on these individual coverage HRAs. The webinars provide an overview of HRAs, explaining the opportunities they can provide to businesses and their employees. The presentation is followed by a Q&A session, where you will have a chance to ask any HRA-related questions.
