Personal Care Account

Personal Care Account (PCA)

Humana's PCA, also called a Health Reimbursement Arrangement, is an employer-funded account that helps members offset a portion of their health care expenses.

Humana refers to these accounts as a “PCA” because members view it as a “personal” account to help them manage health care spending. We have seen that when employees take ownership of their funds, they change the way they choose and use health care services.

PCA advantages

Available with PPO medical plans

Humana pairs the PCA with a high-deductible plan, though not necessarily one that meets the IRS definition of a "High Deductible Health Plan" (e.g. integrated medical and pharmacy deductible). We offer several PPO plan designs, ranging from 100/70 (in-network/out-of-network) coinsurance options to 80/60 (in-network/out-of-network).

Funds may carry over

Members with a PCA may be able to roll over unused funds at the end of the plan year, within the limits their employer sets, as long as they enroll in a PCA plan for the following year.

Easy to use

Members can spend PCA funds easily with the HumanaAccessSM Visa® Debit Card. When employers offer both a PCA (employer funds) and FSA (employee funds), members get a single, integrated card.
