How the HRA Plans Works
Bronze, Silver and Gold options with different levels of coverage
All services are subject to the plan deductible and/or coinsurance, no copays
apply for 2015
SHBP contributes HRA credits to your HRA account based on the plan option
and tier of coverage you choose
 These credits provide first dollar coverage for medical and pharmacy expenses
HRA credits left at the end of the year will roll over to the next plan year, if you
remain enrolled in an HRA option
 If you enroll in an HMO or HDHP plan, you will forfeit any remaining 2014 credits
