According to IRS Rev Ruling 2004-45 an HSA can only be used with a Limited Purpose HRA, which reimburses for permitted insurance, vision, dental, and preventive care.

You can have both types of accounts, but only under certain circumstances. General Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) will probably make you ineligible for an HSA. If your employer offers a “limited purpose” (limited to dental, vision or preventive care) or “post-deductible” (pay for medical expenses after the plan deductible is met) HRA, then you can still be eligible for an HSA.

Contributions to your HRA are funded by your employer at a fixed annual amount each year. Medical claims are submitted to your HRA for reimbursement. If you spend all the money in your account, you will be responsible for paying a certain amount for medical expenses, up to a pre-set limit (deductible), before traditional PPO coinsurance medical plan coverage begins. If you don't spend all the money in your account, the remaining balance rolls over to the next year's Health Reimbursement Account.

You cannot have an HSA if your spouse’s FSA or HRA can pay for any of your medical expenses before your HDHP deductible is met.

HSA is a tax-favored savings account that may be used in conjunction with an HSA-eligible high deductible health insurance plan to pay for certain medical expenses. Typically, the monthly premium on an HSA-eligible high deductible plan is less expensive than the monthly premium for a lower-deductible health insurance plan. Contributions to an HSA may be made pre-tax (up to certain annual limits). Funds in an HSA account may be invested at your discretion.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an investment account from which you can draw money tax-free for medical care. HSAs are owned by the individual and grow through investments, similar to an IRA. HSAs have favorable tax treatment for contributions, distributions and earnings. They are available to individuals covered by a high deductible health plan (HDHP) and can be established to pay for family medical expenses.

There really is not a definitive number of hours worked in order for the plan to be reasonable. One must evaluate the whole compensation package provided to the employee (pay plus fringe benefits) to determine whether it is reasonable compensation for the work performed.

Typically an HSA only allows a Federal deduction, however in some states you can deduct the state tax. The HRA is a business expense which allows for a deduction from Federal, State, and FiCA taxes.

An HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) is used by employees to pay for eligible health care expenses. It is offered in conjunction with a high-deductible health insurance plan. An HRA is owned and funded by the employer. At the end of the year, unused funds may be carried over to the next year at the employer's discretion. If an employee leaves the company, the HRA stays with the employer.

You must wait 90 days before retaking the HRA. Meanwhile, you can review your feedback from your last Quality Health Survey by clicking on Feedback Report from the HRA homepage (accessed through Self Service).
