What Funding Option Is Right for You?
Deciding Between a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) and a Federal Subsidy
Depending on your situation, you may be able to lower your healthcare costs with either an HRA, if available, or a federal subsidy, such as a Premium Tax Credit (PTC) or Cost-Sharing Reduction (CSR). A licensed benefit advisor can assist with these decisions and guide you during your enrollment call.
