Our company is interested in creating a wellness program based on outcomes, so we can take advantage of the incentives in PPACA. What are some of the first steps we should consider?
Outcome-based programs currently offer incentives in the form of rewards of up to 20 percent of employees’ total health care premiums if they are doing everything asked of them to improve their health and reduce medical costs. It’s important to know that implementing a wellness program takes time, effort and commitment, and they don’t always show success immediately. But they are worth it in the long run.
