DelaWELL is a voluntary wellness program available to all benefit-eligible employees and non-Medicare pensioners.
The program is administered by the State of Delaware according to federal rules permitting employer-sponsored wellness programs that seek to improve employee health or prevent disease, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as applicable, among others. If you choose to participate in the wellness program you will be asked to complete a voluntary online health assessment (wellness profile) that asks a series of questions about your health-related activities and behaviors and whether you have or had certain medical conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, or heart disease). You are not required to complete the online health assessment (wellness profile) and there are currently no financial incentives related to your participation in the wellness program.
The information from your online health assessment (wellness profile) will be used to provide you with information to help you understand your current health and potential risks, and may also be used to offer you services through the wellness program, such as health coaching. You also are encouraged to share your results or concerns with your own doctor.
