This webinar will cover how to structure a wellness program that includes premium incentives.

We will:

  • Describe the laws and regulations that govern wellness programs with premium incentives, including the EEOC’s final rules that removed portions of wellness regulations that were vacated by a U.S. District Court
  • Briefly discuss the extent to which employers offer a wellness program, including the types of program components that employers offer
  • Discuss best practices for payroll deduction administration, such as applying a discount to an employee’s premium, changing premium amounts, and giving money back to employees based on their wellness program participation
  • Describe whether an employer’s wellness incentive payments can be spread out over a period of time
  • Discuss how an employer can offer a wellness program that requires an employee to complete biometric screening, a medical exam, or a health risk assessment to receive a premium incentive
  • Provide practical tips, including examples, of how to design compliant wellness programs that involve premium incentives
