what is health care reimbursement
A Healthcare Reimbursement Plan (HRP) is an employer-funded, tax advantaged employer health benefit plan that can reimburse employees for individual health insurance premiums. An HRP is not considered health insurance. Rather, it is a way to provide allowances for individual health insurance. Using the HRP, the employer makes contributions to an employee's allowance. Then, the HRP provides reimbursement for eligible healthcare expenses.
