Which healthcare savings account type can you use to pay for your monthly premiums?

Health Reimbursement Arrangements are employer-funded avenues designed to reimburse employees for qualified medical expenses, and many plans allow premium reimbursements as part of those expenses. That makes an HRA the option that can be used to pay monthly health insurance premiums, depending on how the plan is set up. Flexible Spending Accounts cover out-of-pocket medical costs like copays and deductibles, but insurance premiums are not generally reimbursable from an FSA. Health Savings Accounts are personal savings for medical costs, and premiums aren’t typically eligible expenses from an HSA except in a few narrow cases. PPOs and HMOs are plan types, not savings accounts, so they don’t provide a premium-reimbursement mechanism.
