January 2008 Cost Trends, Health Risk
Assessments and Incentives
The 2008 cost trend for Board Member Companies ranges
from 3% to 11% for medical and prescription. Almost every company offers
employees a Health Risk Assessment (HRA). Most of those with an HRA also
offer biometric screenings. Board member companies use a variety of incentives
to encourage employees to complete the HRA, such as $100 cash payment,
$120 per year off the employee's share of the insurance premium, $120
cash reimbursement at end of year; $50 deposit into the employee's HSA
account, double out-of-pocket payments for health services if the employee
does not complete the HRA, and loyalty programs in which employees earn
points to buy merchandise by participating in various health-related activities
including the HRA.

91% of these respondents use web-based Health Risk
Assessment (HRA) tools. |
|
Many companies provide either an incentive (66%)
or penalty (6%) to encourage participation in the health risk assessment;
however the presence of incentives or penalties alone did not guarantee
a high rate of participation. The type and level of an incentive or
penalty probably impacts its effectiveness. |
