More often, I see wellness programs that offer yearly FSA credit in the hundreds range for filling out a health survey and then potentially additional credit for using the program. The psychology is better there for the base premium (bonuses are better than penalties).

That's just a sales trick which is effectively the same thing.

A bonus to fill it out is the same as a penalty for not doing so.

The psychology is not 'better' it's just sneakier.
