Company offers several accounts that enable you to pay for eligible expenses tax-free. We also offer a plan with a Health
Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). This is a reimbursement arrangement only. You cannot contribute to this account; it is
funded and owned exclusively by the company. The IRS provides a list of eligible expenses for each account at www.irs.gov.
