Health Savings accounts (HSA)
Are you looking for a better way to manage health care costs? A health savings account allows you to save tax-free money and use it for medical expenses. Northeast Benefit Solutions has partnered with several carriers to bring you the most robust options available. An HSA is a great investment vehicle to get triple net savings for health care expenses, including:

Health Reimbursement Arrangement(HRA)
Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) are employer-funded group health plans from which employees are reimbursed tax-free for qualified medical expenses up to a fixed dollar amount per year. Unused amounts may be rolled over to be used in subsequent years. The employer funds and owns the arrangement. Health Reimbursement Arrangements are sometimes called Health Reimbursement Accounts.
Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs)
The Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) is an alternative to offering a traditional group health plan to your employees. It’s a specific account-based health plan that allows employers to provide defined non-taxed reimbursements to employees for qualified medical expenses, including monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, like copayments and deductibles. Employees must be enrolled in individual health insurance coverage (like a plan they bought through the Marketplace) to use the funds.
