HRA Administrator
Learn what an HRA Administrator does, why it matters, and how small businesses use an HRA Administrator to stay compliant and control benefit costs.
An HRA Administrator acts as an Independent TPA PHI Firewall. Under HIPAA Privacy Rules, employers are strictly prohibited from viewing an employee’s specific medical diagnoses (ICD-10 codes) or prescription drug names. An administrator ensures that HR only sees a 'Verified' status for claims.
