33. Key Take Aways
Results Based Wellness – tying employee medical plan contribution to
health outcome – is growing in prevalence
Many ways to design the incentive and overall program
Legally compliant requirements are foundational – GINA, HIPAA and
ADA
Reasonable Alternative Standard is a must
Impact on health care – on individual health and health care claims –
is promising
Intercare Insurance Solutions • Private & Confidential • CA Insurance Lic #0D80830 • intercaresolutions.com 33
34. Keys To Success
Partnering with the “right” results based, third party administrator
Results based program requires objective third party administrator with the tools,
resources and support that best match the culture
Legally compliant appeals and alternatives administration
NOTE – results based programs incorporate venipuncture blood draws rather than
finger stick; increased accuracy
Setting biometric targets and contribution strategy to create early
success and positive behavior change over time
If possible, review historical biometric results and project how many employees
will meet the targets
Obtain clinical perspective on the biometric targets
Start “gentle” and tighten targets over time
Include spouses – voluntary initially, require year 2 or 3
Educate, educate, educate – combined with resources, support
and the opportunity for personal/family success
