I belong to a group health plan that rewards individuals who volunteer to be tested for early detection of health problems, such as high cholesterol. Can a plan do this?
Yes, as long as the health plan offers the reward based on participation in the program and not on test results. For instance, a health plan might offer a premium discount for those who voluntarily test for cholesterol. The discount would be available to everyone who takes the test, not just those who get a certain result.
