Video series addresses HRA
OPERS, OneExchange partner to explain Connector reimbursement
By Heather Drago, Ohio Public Employees Retirement System
April 10, 2017 — What is an HRA, how does it work and how do I submit a claim?
These are common questions Medicare-eligible retirees have when getting to know their Health Reimbursement Arrangement.
In partnership with OneExchange, a four-part video series was developed to address frequently asked questions, like these, in the following ways:
- Health Reimbursement Arrangement: Defines the HRA, qualified expenses and relays the advantages of the OneExchange online account
- How Automatic Reimbursement Works: Discusses how automatic reimbursement works, how to set it up, timing and applicable forms
- Getting Reimbursed for Eligible Health Care Expenses: Addresses the reimbursement process – eligible claims, how to manage funds and file a claim online
- Getting Reimbursed for Other Premiums: Focuses on reimbursement for non-Medicare premiums, applicable forms and methods for submitting claims
The Health Reimbursement Arrangement video series is also located on the OneExchange/OPERS website as well as on the OPERS YouTube channel.
my hra deposit goes away next year. if any is left from this year can I still use it?
Thank you for your question. There is not a timeframe for when one may submit expenses, meaning that you may still submit for reimbursement if funds remain in your account in 2018. If you have further questions, please submit a question to OPERS through your secure online account, or give us a call at 1-800-222-7377.
Thanks,
OPERS
