DirectPay

Commonly referred to as a Health Reimbursement Arrangement, DirectPay is an employer-paid reimbursement program for health care benefits. It allows employers to annually set aside a specific amount of money for employees to pay for health care expenses as defined by the plan. All employer contributions to the Plan are tax deductible to the employer, and tax-free to the employee.
With this plan, employers can switch to a less costly, high-deductible insurance plan. The amount of money saved by reduced premiums is used to fund the DirectPay account, which reimburses the employee for out-of-pocket health care expenses.
For the employee, choice is maintained and he or she is free to search for the best and most efficient health care. For the employer, DirectPay offers the ability to pay only for the services that are actually used. This distinctive fund management program allows employers to advance claim payments to employees before the full reimbursement amount is present in their account. DirectPay fronts the necessary funds to reimburse employee claims; not the employer!
