Welcome to year nine of Graco’s Wellness Program! Bravo Wellness continues to administer Graco’s Wellness Program. This ensures confidentiality and protection of your health information. Bravo does not share your personal health information with Graco; Bravo only communicates to Graco how your results impact your premium discounts or company funded Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions. This program is voluntary and requires annual enrollment for both employees and spouses.
75% of all healthcare costs are spent treating conditions that are lifestyle related and preventable. The purpose of Graco’s Wellness program is to improve the health of employees and spouses by offering a program that promotes healthy lifestyle choices and disease prevention which drives employee engagement and productivity.
Employees and spouses that voluntarily choose to enroll in Graco’s Wellness Program can earn points towards premium discounts or company funded HSA contributions.
2017 Premium Discounts or Contribution to Health Savings Account (HSA)
In order to ensure that our “employee only” or “employee + children” participants have the same opportunity to earn points at the same rate as our “employee + spouse” or “employee + family” participants, we have allotted similar 15 points achievement categories. Specifically, if you are an “employee only” or “employee + children” participant you can earn 15 points for completing a health risk assessment and a health screening (biometric). Respectively, if you are an “employee + spouse” or “employee + family” participant, you can earn up to 15 points: 10 points for your spouse completing both a health risk assessment and a health screening (biometric), and 5 points for negative spouse tobacco use.
Effective January 2017, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has created new regulations for Wellness programs. This will impact the maximum discount allowable for our Family plan if the spouse chooses not to voluntarily participate.
If you’re ready to enroll, review page 10 for enrollment instructions.
