Company Wellness Programs
Small and mid-sized employers can now offer comprehensive and customizable company
wellness programs for their employees at little or no cost due to the passage of
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). One of the key features
of the Healthcare Reform allows for certain preventive health screenings to be 100%
covered under company wellness programs with no employee copayment. Additionally,
employers with less than 100 employees may be eligible for wellness grant funding
pending appropriations.
Employee Wellness Programs
FirstVitals®’ company wellness programs focus on helping employers provide resources
to improve employee health through awareness and engagement to better manage chronic
health conditions. Employee wellness programs can be personalized to suit your needs

listen to warning signs before they become a huge issue.

- Engage employees to take control of their health and well-being
- Identify employee health risks and willingness to change

wellness and prevention programs
