Background: Those who pay for health care are increasingly looking for strategies to influence individuals to take a more active role in managing their health. Incenting health plan members and/or employees to participate in wellness programs is a widely used approach.
Objective: In this study, we examine financial incentives to health plan members to participate in an online self-management/wellness program-US $20 for completing the patient activation measure (PAM) and an additional US $40 for completing 8 learning modules.

Study Design: A quasi-experimental pre-post design was used, with an intervention group coached with a tailored approach and a control group coached in the usual way.
Methods: Data derived from telephonic coaching and from archival utilization data were used in the analysis.
