Abstract/OtherAbstract:
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).
