Flexible solutions to fit your business

With our consumer-directed health care (CDHC) options — our health plans paired with one of our Kaiser Permanente Health Payment Accounts — you’ll get what you’re looking for. It’s a solution with advantages for your employees and your business.

Customized solutions for more affordable care

No matter which deductible health plan and Health Payment Account you choose to pair together, you and your employees will get a wealth of features and benefits that’ll help you get the most out of your health care offerings.

Choose from 3 types of Kaiser Permanente Health Payment Accounts:

Health reimbursement arrangement (HRA)

Employees have the option of using employer-contributed funds to pay for qualified medical expenses on a tax-free basis.1 Several HRA types are available, ranging from comprehensive to more limited coverage.

Health savings account (HSA)

Employees own their HSA, which can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses.2 The money employees contribute to this account through payroll withholdings isn’t considered part of their wages, so they won’t be taxed on it.3

Flexible spending account (FSA)

Employees make pretax contributions they can use to pay for a wide range of qualified medical expenses — including doctor visits, prescription drugs, and lab tests — or dependent care expenses such as child care.4

Easy administration

With our enhanced administrative capabilities, you can spend less time managing your employees’ health care expenses and more time moving your business forward.
