A survey of employers finds that increasing employee wellness incentives is the most beneficial aspect of the health reform law.
Lockton Benefit Group conducted their Employer Health Reform study in May, and discovered that 37 percent of their clients agreed wellness incentives were the best element of health reform.
In 2014, employers will be able to offer an incentive of up to 30 percent of an employee's total healthcare premium, if the employee is doing everything asked to improve his or her health and reduce medical costs. This is an increase from the 20 percent incentive available now. More than 40 percent of Lockton Benefit Group client-companies responded to the confidential survey, which explored the impact of health reform law on group health plans.
