Which Cover Doctor Visits: Aetna HRA vs HSA?

When it comes to covering doctor visits, both Aetna Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) can be beneficial options.

Here's a breakdown of which one covers doctor visits:

  • Aetna HRA: Aetna HRA is a type of health plan where your employer contributes funds to an account for your healthcare expenses. When it comes to doctor visits, Aetna HRA typically covers a portion of the cost, and you may need to pay a co-pay or co-insurance.
  • HSA: On the other hand, an HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account that you can use to pay for qualified medical expenses, including doctor visits. With an HSA, you can use the funds in your account to cover the full or partial cost of doctor visits.

It's important to note that the coverage for doctor visits may vary based on your specific Aetna HRA or HSA plan, so be sure to review the details of your plan to understand what is covered.


When considering doctor visits, both the Aetna Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) and the Health Savings Account (HSA) play significant roles in managing healthcare costs. Understanding the nuances of each can help you make informed decisions about your health expenses.
