Accommodated Wellness Plan

Meaning

An accommodated wellness plan is a structured health promotion program offered by an employer that provides a reasonable alternative standard for individuals for whom the original health-contingent goal is medically inadvisable or overly difficult to attain. This provision is essential in the hormonal health space, recognizing that physiological factors like severe hypothyroidism or adrenal insufficiency can impede standard biometric goals, such as weight loss or specific cholesterol targets. It upholds the principle of fairness, ensuring all participants, regardless of baseline physiological challenges, have an equal opportunity to earn incentive rewards. Clinical validation is often required to establish the need for this modified, personalized approach to well-being metrics.
