Wellness program regulations: It’s enough to make you sick

Sep 3, 2019

What could be wrong with employers wanting to offer their employees a wellness program to encourage them to be healthier, happier people? According to the US government, A LOT! Over 20 years, federal agencies and Congress have passed wellness laws and issued regulations that are less than consistent with each other, making a simple idea increasingly complex for employers. In this podcast, Scott gets the scoop on wellness program regulations from Ed and Rory Akers.

  • What did federal regulators fail to learn from the moon landing 50 years ago?
  • What can employers do and NOT do when it comes to wellness programs?
  • Does getting sued mean you did something wrong? (Ed hopes not.)
  • What are the differences between the wellness regulations under the ACA, HIPAA, EEOC, ADA, GINA?
  • Is Scott really missing part of his brain?
  • How do employers apply wellness incentives to affordability analyses under the ACA?
