Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)
Employees with HRA account balances need to take action to spend down HRA account balances. Segal pays a monthly administrative fee to maintain these HRA accounts, and several HRA balances are lower than the account administration fee. On an annual basis, Segal lowers all HRA account balances by an amount close to the annual administration fee.
The HRA account administrator is WEX.
