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.
The key difference between HRA and HSA is that HRA is an employer funded health benefit plan that reimburses for medical expenses including personal health insurance policy premiums of employees whereas HSA is also a tax-advantaged health benefit plan exclusively available to taxpayers in the United States who are enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
