QSEHRAs Provided by '21st Century Cures Act' May Not Be a Total Cure
Winstead PC [Guidance Overview] Nov. 3, 2017
"Employers desiring to offer a QSEHRA must be aware that these arrangements are different in many significant respects from the health reimbursement arrangements first recognized under IRS Notice 2002-45 (HRA) and QSEHRAs also carry many additional requirements, such as the requirement that the individual must certify that they have MEC before each expense is reimbursed in order for the expense to be eligible and excluded from the individual's income and to not disqualify the QSEHRA. Disqualifying a QSEHRA means loss of the income tax exclusion for the individual, and depending upon the violation it may mean loss of being exempt from the group health plan definition and would trigger application of all provisions applicable to group health plans under the Code, COBRA, the ACA requirements(including the requirement that HRAs be integrated with a group health plan) and under the Medicare secondary payer statute."
