Does Truemed Work for HRAs or Limited Purpose FSAs?
Overview:
Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) and Limited Purpose FSAs have different reimbursement requirements compared to traditional HSAs and FSAs. Truemed currently supports the reimbursement process primarily for traditional HSA/FSA accounts. Please review your specific plan details to determine which categories your account covers.
Understanding HRAs and Limited Purpose FSAs
Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs):
HRAs are employer-funded accounts designed to reimburse employees for qualified medical expenses.
Typically, HRAs support specific categories, such as vision and dental expenses, or may cover deductible expenses.
Because of these category restrictions, many HRAs do not support a broad range of health care services.
Limited Purpose FSAs:
These accounts are generally restricted to dental and vision expenses or may cover certain deductible expenses.
Like HRAs, Limited Purpose FSAs are not intended to cover the full spectrum of medical expenses that traditional FSAs support.
Truemed's Reimbursement Process
Traditional HSA/FSA Accounts:
Truemed is currently optimized to support the reimbursement process for traditional HSA/FSA accounts that cover a broad range of eligible medical expenses.
For HRAs and Limited Purpose FSAs:
If your HRA or Limited Purpose FSA has no category restrictions, we can often support the reimbursement process using similar steps as those for traditional HSA/FSA accounts.
However, if your plan is limited to specific expense categories (e.g., only dental and vision), you may not be able to use Truemed for other types of health care reimbursements.
What You Should Do
Review Your Plan Details:
Check your HRA or Limited Purpose FSA plan documentation to see which categories are eligible for reimbursement.
Determine Compatibility:
If your plan is restricted to specific categories, verify whether your expense falls within those limitations.
If there are no category restrictions, you may be able to follow the same reimbursement process as traditional HSA/FSA accounts.
