The Affordable Care Act will expand employers’ ability to reward employees who participate in wellness programs. Evidence shows that workplace health programs have the potential to promote healthy behaviors, improve employees’ knowledge and skills, and reduce overall health care costs. Employers will also benefit because of the goodwill created with their workforce by creating a culture of overall wellness within their companies.
Nevada and Utah Employers with 10 or more employees will especially benefit from corporate wellness programs because of their ability to purchase self-funded medical plans from Elevate Insurance and decreasing health insurance claims by increasing positive behaviors among their employees. Money saved by the employer in claims cost can be refunded to the company, thereby reducing overall health insurance premiums.
The partnership between Weight Watchers and Elevate Insurance will provide employers a one-stop solution for understanding and managing health care costs.
For over 50 years, Weight Watchers has helped millions of people lose weight. Their new Health Solutions program for businesses has the tools and resources needed to help enhance employee engagement in the plan and drive results for all types of organizations.
Elevate Insurance has taken a lead role in educating companies on what they need to know to navigate the changing health care landscape. President of Elevate Insurance, Porter Talbot, has been speaking to many groups and associations on the coming changes.
“We’re proud to work with Weight Watchers of Las Vegas to promote healthy workplaces,” said Porter Talbot, President of Elevate Insurance. “Weight Watchers is the most recognized and respected name in the country when it comes to weight loss.
