BASE^® EBHRA

The BASE^® Excepted Benefit Health Reimbursement Arrangement (EBHRA) allows employers of all sizes to use tax free dollars to reimburse certain benefits. Employers must offer group health insurance, but employees don’t have to be enrolled in the group health plan to benefit from the EBHRA.

This HRA provides the option for employers to reimburse employees for out-of-pocket medical expenses and non-insured medical expenses, such as copays, deductibles, prescriptions, dental and vision insurance premiums, COBRA continuation coverage, and short-term limited duration insurance premiums.

The EBHRA will integrate with the employee's current health insurance plan, and will provide businesses with an opportunity to further expand benefit options for employees.
