OBJECTIVES
If your workplace
Wellness Program is connected to a Group Health Insurance Plan, you will
probably have requirements you must meet under the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA). But that’s not all. The EEOC in May issued
final rules regarding the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). Before you
throw up your hands and walk away, join us and we will tell you how you can set
up your Employee Wellness Program to get the maximum benefit and avoid the
pitfalls.
