MR #11096 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – HEALTH CARE REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT DEBIT CARD
OPTION
The Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA) allow s employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible
medical and dental expenses that cannot be reimbursed through insurance or any other arrangement. An
enhancement to the existing HRCA reimbursement process would be to allow the optional use of a medi cal
debit card to facilitate the claims process by eliminating the need to wait for reimbursement. The debit card
would encourage increased employee participation by providing easy access to funds plus reduced
administrative costs due to streamlining the reimbursement process and reduce the number and cost of
issuing reimbursement checks. This resolution requests the County Executive, Management and Budget,
Purchasing and Human Resources Department to investigate the cost -effectiveness of this approach an d to
report their finds and recommendation to the Human Resources Committee within ninety days of the
adoption of this resolution.
Covey moved the Human Resources Committee Report to the Board wit h the recommendation
