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.
A Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), commonly referred to as a Health Reimbursement Account, is an IRS approved, employer-funded, tax-advantaged employer health benefit plan that reimburses employees for out-of-pocket medical expenses and individual health insurance premiums. A Health Reimbursement Arrangement is not health insurance. A Health Reimbursement Arrangement allows the employer to make contributions to an employee's account and provide reimbursement for eligible expenses. An HRA plan is an excellent way to supplement health insurance benefits and allow employees to pay for a wide range of medical expenses not covered by insurance.
