Not enough incentive for wellness

Only employers that are self-funded realize a direct, real return on an investment in wellness programs in reduced paid claims. And it is only self-funded employers that are 'putting their money where their mouth is' as the author puts it.

If a fully insured employer invests thousands in a wellness program, and is actually successful, their premiums will not be reduced.

Sadly, there is no direct financial incentive of wellness for fully insured employers.

Getting some free help

Free Diet and healthy living websites, like SparkPeople.com, can really help combat some of these charges by both offering free tools, resources and support AND by keeping you up to date with the latest money-saving information on fitness, nutrition and healthy living in general.
