Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a procedure that enables your surgeon to examine the lining of the rectum and lower colon (bowel). It is usually done in the surgeonâs office or a procedure room, but occasionally may be done in the hospital.
HRA rules regarding paying for health insurance are different than those for an HSA. Health insurance premiums are an HRA qualified medical expense. However, your employer can structure your HRA to have stricter reimbursement criteria than those allowed by the IRS.
Understand How Your HRA is Funded. The HRA is a fully-funded, employer-sponsored benefit. You, as the employee, do not contribute to it. If you have an HRA, your employer will determine every year how much to contribute to your account. Your employer will also decide which expenses are eligible for reimbursement, such as pharmacy services and deductible costs. Finally, your employer will decide when to make your HRA dollars available to you.
