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.
By health reimbursement arrangements, employers reimburse employees directly only after the employees incur approved medical expenses. According to the IRS, an HRA must be funded solely by an employer. Contributions cannot be paid through a salary reduction agreement (such as a cafeteria plan). There is no minimum or maximum contribution limit on the employer's contributions to an HRA.
