In the aftermath of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), employers need to carefully examine their wellness programs and in particular the incentives or penalties they have installed to encourage employees to adopt healthy lifestyles. Employers should look at the reasons they offer discounts, exclusions and wellness programs and assess how effective these measures are. They may want to replace them with "positive" approaches such as health fairs and education programs.
1996年《健康保险流通与责任法案》（HIPAA）出台后，雇主需要仔细审视其健康计划，尤其是审视为鼓励员工采取健康生活方式而设置的激励措施或惩罚措施。雇主应审视提供折扣、豁免和健康计划的原因，并评估这些措施的有效性。他们可能想用健康博览会和教育项目等“积极”方式取而代之。
