The PWA is a company-owned savings account—or health reimbursement account--available to Team Members who are eligible for and enroll in one of our high-deductible health plans: the National Plan or the Whole Health Plan. A PWA is designed to help you cover first-dollar costs for out-of-pocket healthcare expenses during the year, such as deductibles, copays, and other eligible services.
Yes. WFM makes a contribution each year to the PWA. The amount varies based on the medical plan you choose and your coverage tier.
Due to IRS rules, you cannot contribute any dollars over and above what WFM puts into your account each year.
