Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

What you need to know

The Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) is no longer offered with any of BAE Systems medical plan options. There are new rules and processes for getting reimbursed from your HRA.

If you have an HRA from previous years and still have funds in it, here are some important things you should know:

  • Your HRA is now a Limited Purpose HRA. You’ll continue to have access to the funds through December 31, 2023, as long as you and your covered dependents are enrolled in a BAE Systems Cigna medical plan.
  • Your HRA funds may only be used for reimbursement of eligible dental and vision expenses incurred between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023. During the two-year period, Cigna will manage the HRA reimbursement process for these eligible dental and vision expenses.
  • You can also continue to submit any 2021 Cigna medical or prescription drug expense paid as an out-of-pocket cost as long as it’s less than one year from the date of service.

To continue to have access to your HRA funds, you must participate in a BAE Systems Cigna medical plan. To check your current HRA balance, visit myCigna.com > Spending Accounts.
