No, an HRA is different from an HSA.

HRA - You do not need to report anything on your tax return with regard to your HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement). The account is funded by your employer so there isn't anything for you to deduct. You won't pay taxes on the disbursements either.

See below for key differences.
