HCR: Running Afoul of the Excise Tax? • The health reform law is likely

HCR: Running Afoul of the Excise Tax? • The health reform law is likely to give a short-term boost to the use of financial incentives in wellness plans, says Corporate Synergies CEO Thom Mangan. But employers should beware of triggering the 40 percent excise tax on high value or "Cadillac" plans that takes effect in 2018, for plans valued annually at more than $10, 200 for individuals and $27, 500 for families. Employers spending on wellness programs would add to their health plan's value, pushing them closer to that trigger. • "Those who are not early adopters in using wellness initiatives to curb the cost of their health insurance will end up being hurt if they try to launch a program in 2018 or later, " Mangan notes, because "the cost curve does not come down for two to three years once you've implemented a wellness program. " • The excise tax will become a disincentive for employers to add to the cost of their health benefits and, as a result, health care reform could have a reverse effect on employers’ efforts to promote wellness and healthy behaviors, in Mangan's view.

HCR: Running Afoul of the Excise Tax? • "We're strongly encouraging companies to step up their wellness efforts today to better control their future health spending, making it more likely they'll avoid the tax, " Mangan advises. • In a March 2010 letter to Congress, the Society for Human Resource Management urged lawmakers not to count the value of supplemental benefits such as wellness plans toward the excise tax threshold.
