According to a recent survey by the National Business Group on Health, more than half of employers use financial incentives to motivate employees to become more engaged in their health. Another 24% of companies plan to introduce some form of incentive program in 2009, and both groups are pushing their health plans to incorporate incentives, such as cash payments and premium discounts, in their product offerings. Engaging beneficiaries — and keeping them engaged — is one of the top challenges for health plans and employers offering health benefit programs. Three out of four big U.S. employers offer formal health and wellness programs with an eye towards reining in costs and increasing productivity. But how do the most successful programs generate interest and maintain it over time? What kinds of incentives are most effective? What amount of incentive is optimal to motivate behavior and produce returns for the health plan and its clients? What considerations should be kept in mind to ensure that an incentive program complies with federal and state laws? Join us on December 3 and hear two experts in this important field discuss the ins and outs of health and wellness incentive programs. You’ll get the specifics of strategies you can use to ensure that your program is effective and compliant now and as you plan for new ways to control costs in a deteriorating economic climate. Among the topics that they’ll discuss are:
