In order to encourage voluntary participation in wellness or disease management programs, a small employer carrier may offer premium credits or discounts to a small employer for the benefit of eligible employees of that small employer who participate in such a program. An employee shall not be penalized in any way for not participating in such a program.
2. The commissioner shall adopt, by rule or order, provisions allowing suspension or modification of premium rate restrictions to enable a small employer carrier to provide premium credits or discounts to a small employer based on measurable reductions in costs of that small employer, including but not limited to tobacco use cessation, participation in established wellness or disease management programs, and economies of acquisition or administration.
