In this episode, John Staub interviews Robin Paoli, the executive director of the HRA Council, to discuss the origins and evolution of health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). They explore the Qualified Small Employer Reimbursement Arrangement (QSEHRA) and the Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA), and how these innovative strategies are transforming employer-sponsored health benefits. They also discuss best practices for implementing HRAs and highlight the importance of education and advocacy in this space.
