Retiree Reimbursement Account. Retiree Reimbursement Accounts are health reimbursement arrangements that can be used upon retirement to pay insurance premiums or obtain reimbursements for qualified health care expenses or both. RRAs are not comprehensive health insurance plans. Contributions to an RRA are made by the employer. Most plans operate for unlimited time periods and balances carry over from year to year during the life span of the member and/or his/her dependents. Funds in an RRA may be used to pay for unreimbursed medical expenses as well as health premiums, including Medicare Part B and Medigap policies. Reimbursements made with employer deposits from these accounts are not considered taxable income to the retiree.
