Does your insurance offer good incentives for good health?


According to a recent Associated Press article, companies and employers are now dangling prizes to motivate workers to lose weight, lower their blood pressure, quit smoking — and perhaps most important, curb spending on medical costs by kicking chronic health problems.

They’re handing out everything from gift cards to ipods to frequent-flyer type bonus points that can be redeemed for goods and services — if you’re healthy.

Does your insurance plan offer such incentives? If not, what type of gift would you like from your insurer for staying healthy?
