Yes - it's true.
The non-standardized world of employee wellness programs has it's first comprehensive, national wellness program accreditation through URAC (The Utilization Review Accreditation group out of Washington, DC). Through an extensive review of policies and operational procedures, they will determine which companies are providing programs that you can depend upon to help reduce health care, disability, sick time and retention within your organization.
This is a big move that will clear the way for employee benefits brokers and employers alike to move aggressively toward employee wellness programs with greater certainty about what they're actually buying.
And guess who is the ONLY employee wellness provider in the state of Colorado going through the accreditation process? You guessed it - US Corporate Wellness, Inc (
