Biometric Health Screen Information, Sign- Up And Forms

THE PURPOSE OF HEALTH SCREENS

 

The purpose of offering health screens is for everyone to receive baseline information on their current health status.  The screens will require a fasting blood draw between 8 and 12 hours that will give you markers on  Sodium, potassium, albumin, alkaline phosphate, bilirubin, BUN, Calcium, Creatinine, GGT, globulin, AST, ALT, total protein, uric acid, LOH, glucose, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglycerides, TC/HDL ratio and HgbA1.  We will have the In-Body Scale available and optional for anyone who would like to have the test done. The benefit of completing your Biometric Health Screen and CHRA is that anyone who is currently on our insurance will be eligible to save $30/month on their insurance premium.  To receive the discount for the current school year, you must follow the guidelines below:

 

Complete the following between January 1st and March 31st of the current wellness year. 

 

Health Screening/Biometrics

 

Health Risk Assessment (CHRA online questionnaire) available online starting February 1st of the current wellness year.

You may also use your general practitioner. For this, refer to the Physician Lab Form. This must be completed and submitted to UMR, dated between January 1st and March 31st of the current wellness year. Dates outside this window will not be accepted in place of the biometric blood draw.

                      

Clinical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA)

 

The health risk assessment will be open starting February 1st and will close on March 31st of the current wellness year.  Please go to www.umr.com  to take your CHRA survey.   

     

The deadline for completing CHRA is March 31 of the current wellness year.  If you have not completed your CHRA on or before the deadline, you will not be eligible for incentives.  There are no extensions available due to time constraints of processing.  Please reach out to your building champion for help completing your CHRA if you need help.
