HRA Flexibility Attractive for Many Employers
Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) are one of the fastest growing health care offerings on the market today. Due to their flexible nature, HRAs provide a variety of options to help balance your health plan package. Listed below are five reasons to consider implementing an HRA program:
- Flexible plan designs
- HRAs can include "rollovers" if employer chooses
- Reimbursable expenses can include insurance premiums (e.g. COBRA and individual policies)
- HRAs can be offered as a stand-alone option or used in conjunction with an existing insurance plan
- A Flex Debit Card can be used to access funds
Crosby can perform all of the design, implementation and on-going administration associated with HRAs. Due to each employer group's unique structure, Crosby will work with you to understand your specific requirements and the complexities of your plan to build an appropriate process that is tailored to your group. Contact us today to learn more about how HRAs can benefit your organization. |

High Fuel Prices Weighing You Down?
Take Advantage of Crosby's Commuter Program
 As fuel prices keep rising, commuters are looking for alternate ways to get to work. Ridership within public transportation systems across the country is on the rise. On May 5th The Boston Globe reported that "the MBTA commuter system averaged 1.29 million weekday passengers in March, up from 1.22 million in the same month a year ago. January and February saw similar increases from 2007."
Taking advantage of the available commuter tax benefits and offering this environmentally friendly, cost-neutral program makes it more affordable for your employees to use mass transit or work-related parking. Crosby offers a streamlined, easy-to-use web-based platform for the ordering and management of transit and parking orders. Serving all major metropolitan areas such as Chicago, Hartford, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, Providence, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, DC and of course our home town of Boston, this cost-effective benefit is designed to help employers run their commuter programs smoothly and efficiently.
Implement this cost-neutral benefit by contacting Darla Rosenfeld via email or by calling 800-462-2235 x168. |
