HRA - Health Reimbursement Arrangement. A company sets aside money to pay for an employee's eligible medical expenses. While some plans allow an employee to roll over the balance year to year, an employee cannot contribute to the account and the amount of money is typically not portable. Eligible health care expenses reimbursed by the employer are considered tax free for the employee.

However, having one first-degree relative (mother, sister or daughter) with breast cancer doubles a woman's risk, and having two first-degree relatives triples her risk. (Source: The American Cancer Society) (Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
