The new health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) option has the potential to disrupt existing models of employer-sponsored coverage as employers are faced with ever-increasing coverage costs. The HRA rule, finalized in June 2019 and effective in 2020, lets employers contribute to the cost of their employees’ coverage in the individual market.
