<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB), is proposing to amend Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 111-010-0015, Definitions. The rule amendment
is needed to give OEBB members who are enrolled in OEBB medical coverage, or other employer sponsored group coverage, the opportunity to access their Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) funds through an Integrated General Purpose HRA. The federal regulations
permit the allowance of integration with other health plans (just not OEBB) if the individuals whose expenses are being reimbursed through the HRA are enrolled in group medical coverage, the HRA is ACA-compliant.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
