Why is my company offering this program?

The comprehensive workplace wellness offering is an impactful benefit for all employees. In general, an employee workplace wellness program is offered for the health and well-being of employees as well as the concern about the rising cost of healthcare.

Research indicates that many serious diseases are preventable through lifestyle changes. The employee workplace wellness program is designed to reduce the risk of disease and support the adoption of healthy habits by employees who want to improve their own health and fitness levels.

At BWS, we believe that healthcare should start before you get sick. By attending the corporate biometric screening, you become aware of your numbers (i.e. cholesterol, glucose, etc.) and learn prevention strategies to reduce your risk factors for heart disease, stroke, metabolic syndrome and more.

How do I enroll in the workplace wellness program? Are there certain requirements and/or deadlines to adhere to?

Will my employer see my results?

No. Per our privacy policy, BWS will not share your individual results with your employer. They will be given a report that provides an overview of the organization’s risk factors (as a whole). Individual results are not shared without your permission.

Is this program legal?

Yes. Be Well Solutions provides employee wellness programs in compliance with the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) incentives for Non-Discriminatory Wellness Programs in Group Health Plans. This allows employers to adjust healthcare costs for those on the health plan who meet certain health goals. At BWS, we adhere to all ACA, HIPAA, GINA, and ADA protocols. This ensures that your personal information, including your testing results, will not be shared with any unauthorized parties, including your employer.

Do I have to participate?

However, if you choose not to participate, you may miss out on resources made available to you and paid for by your employer (such as unlimited access to Health Coaches, Dietitians and Personal Trainers), in addition to financial incentives. As such, you may be responsible for contributing an additional amount towards your health insurance premium.

Participants receive their results in a Health Screening Report that details their numbers, normal ranges and lifestyle tips to help them maintain or improve their numbers.
