Currently, most companies tie between 5% and 10% of employee premium costs to incentives, but that will likely go up, says Charlie Smith, chief medical officer for national accounts at insurer Cigna Corp.
信諾保險集團(Cigna Corp)負責國民賬戶的首席醫療長查理•史密斯(Charlie Smith)說,目前,大多數公司將員工保險費用的5%至10%與獎勵機制掛鉤,但是這個比例很可能要提高。
Pharmacy chain CVS Caremark sparked outrage among employees and workers-rights advocates last month by asking staff members to report personal health metrics, including their body fat, blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, to the company's insurer by May or pay a $600 penalty.
上個月,藥品連鎖企業CVS Caremark要求員工5月之前向公司的保險承保人報告包括自己的脂肪比率、血糖、血壓和膽固醇值在內的個人健康指標,否則將面臨600美元的罰金,此事在員工和員工權益維護人士中引起眾怒。
Few workers can afford to refuse, but some aren't happy. 'It opens a Pandora's box, ' says a full-time CVS employee who works at a distribution center in Florida. 'It's none of their business.' While the 26-year-old describes himself as healthy, he says he is worried about disclosing health information that could be shared without his knowledge. He says he plans to cancel his health plan, which also covers his wife and child, and will start looking for work elsewhere.
沒有幾名員工拒絕這項要求,但是一些人很不開心。在佛羅里達一個配送中心工作的一名CVS全職職員說:“這開啟了潘多拉的盒子。健康指標與他們毫不相干。”雖然這名26歲的年輕人表示自己很健康,但他說他擔心自己的健康信息有可能在自己不知情的情況下被泄露。他說他打算終止自己現有的醫保計劃(該方案把他妻子和孩子也納入了保險),然后到別處另找工作。
CVS, which maintains that the change is intended to make workers aware of their health risks, says it doesn't have access to workers' screening results.
CVS堅持認為改變政策的目的是讓員工注意自己的健康風險,該公司說它無法獲得員工的篩查結果。
