Employee Wellness Programs are Rigged Poop

[oxymoron]

So they just notified me that i am short on health points because 205 lbs is heavy for 6-1. So now I have to wear a damn pedometer lol. This wellness shit is such a joke. During my exam they were shocked at my low bp, optimal cholesterol, hr, etc. and now they look for weird skewed results and interperet shit wrong to screw ur premiums.

Its usually an opportunity to get a certain discount i.e. $250 or $500. Its a way to motivate people to be healthier

What premium do you get if you marry a doctor?

 

[oxymoron]

nah I get the program its just f'd that they design it so u have good healthy incentives but they still screw u on $.

I argued with them for an hour today and they didn't even follow what I was explaining.
a mgr is supposed to call me sometime... pffffft cocks.

I was talkin to a few diff people at work and they all scored just barely out of range for certain discounts. shit if ur muscular u might as well be obese b/c they don't calc in bf% only body type.

not sure but I work for one of the largest insurance companies in the country and the plan through my own employer is not as good as the plan through his employer, so we go with his LOL

250 dollar deductible, everything's covered and I pay like 280 bucks a month for family coverage.

did you have to go thru the full cattle call wellness check where they classify your health with points and based on "their" interpretation of your health your premium is adjusted?

no doubt mine is cheap as hell but when you watch them tweak things so you pay more than should plus the false advertising. if you never worked out in your life but are average build you could essentially get a better rate than me because I lift weights.

 

[mistaballoonhands]

Fuck no.

Employers have to shift the cost of BarryCare somewhere...
