CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2026 / FloresHR, a leading benefits administration company, today announced the launch of its GLP-1 HRA Benefit, a dedicated Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) that helps employers offer employer-funded access to GLP-1 weight-loss medications while keeping spending predictable. As employers face rising GLP-1 medication costs and increasing demand for access, many are looking for sustainable ways to support employees without taking on unpredictable healthcare expenses. The HRA solution provides employers with a flexible, controlled-spend approach to funding GLP-1 treatments, allowing them to establish defined benefit budgets while helping employees access the care they need.

With the new Flores GLP-1 HRA benefit, employers choose the funding level and plan design, and FloresHR administers the HRA, handling reimbursement, reporting, and compliance, so employers don't add to their administrative workload. The FloresHR participant portal and mobile app provide easy claim filing and quick reimbursement for employees taking advantage of the benefit.

"The use of GLP-1s for weight loss is contributing in a major way to the ever-growing cost of healthcare coverage for employers. At the same time, employees are rating access to these drugs as a significant factor in their employment decisions and benefits satisfaction. Flores is very pleased to support our employer and broker partners with this new benefit to help with employer costs while maintaining employee access to these medications," said Jeff Meyerhofer, CEO, FloresHR.

Employers can choose from three HRA plan designs:

• Defined Annual Benefit: A set annual dollar limit that employees can use at any point in the eligibility period, with a simple claims process.
• Defined Monthly or Quarterly Benefit: A set monthly or quarterly reimbursement limit that gives employers consistent, predictable funding.
• Full-Service GLP-1 Model: Employer-defined eligibility criteria and a monthly, quarterly, or annual benefit limit, with intake and medication fulfillment through Patiently™ by FSA & HSA Store®.

For the full-service model, FloresHR is partnering with Patiently™ by FSA & HSA Store®, a telehealth platform that can be tailored to an employer's branding and program specifications, to deliver a full-service experience for employees. Patiently™ by FSA & HSA Store® brings a benefits-first approach to GLP-1 access, combining telehealth services with flexible employer-funded benefit solutions. Built on Health-E Commerce's expertise in tax-advantaged benefits, the offering helps employers provide GLP-1 support through a controlled-spend HRA while giving employees a streamlined experience to access treatment, understand their benefits and navigate reimbursement in one place. Employers set the funding level, eligibility requirements (including BMI thresholds), and covered medications, from branded options such as Zepbound® KwikPen® and Wegovy® Pill or other personalized weight loss offerings.

Regardless of HRA plan design, FloresHR can provide employees with a shop link for Patiently™ by FSA & HSA Store®.

"Accessing healthcare benefits shouldn't be complicated," said Steve Jackson, senior vice president of sales at Health-E Commerce, parent brand of FSA Store® and HSA Store®. "Our partnership with FloresHR brings together the flexibility employers need and the simplicity employees deserve. With customized benefit experiences powered by Patiently™ by FSA & HSA Store®, employers can confidently offer GLP-1 support through an HRA, while employees have one place to explore treatment options, understand their coverage, and navigate claims and reimbursement."
