Small Businesses Get Creative to Save Employee Health Benefits

Many small businesses use tax-free Health Savings Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements to provide employees with suitable and affordable healthcare coverage. HRAs and HSAs also offer many tax advantages to employers.

Fort Collins, CO (PRWEB) March 9, 2009 -- According to a new study by Information Strategies, Inc., many small business are finding creative ways to keep their employee healthcare coverage. Two of the most popular solutions businesses are implementing are Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA).

HSAs and HRAs are both tax-free programs designed to help Americans afford their healthcare, regardless of the health insurance programs that may or may not be provided by an employer. An HRA program allows employers to reimburse their employees for healthcare expenses that are not covered by the employer's healthcare plan, such as deductibles, co-pays, and coinsurance claims.

There are a variety of different options with each of these healthcare coverage solutions

For example, we have an HRA plan for self-employed individuals that is different than the plans we offer for small businesses. Also, employers can decide what can be covered by the HRA plan, such as dental or vision.

As healthcare becomes more and more expensive, we're always on the look-out for affordable programs that will help our clients afford appropriate coverage for their employees and families
