Designing Wellness programs with HIPAA in mind.
Voluntary wellness programs have been shown to effect positive outcomes and can benefit both individuals and employer group health insurance plans. Such programs often offer individuals a specific reward--cash incentives, rebates, discounts, or modified co-payments--if they participate in the program and meet certain health "targets" or standards (e.g., obtaining a cholesterol count of less than 200).
