Schedule Your Biometric Screening Now: Appointments Available Oct. 31-Dec. 6

Read Time: 3 mins

As part of the Wellness Incentive Program, Kettering Health Network offers employees an incentive to get a biometric screening, followed by any recommended care management based on those results. Why? Because it’s a step toward a healthier workforce, which is an integral part of our mission to improve the quality of life for those in our communities. 

Wellness Incentives 

For people who choose the Engaged Health Plan, getting a biometric screening makes them eligible for a reduced premium, saving them money.

Looking ahead to 2018 benefits, people who choose the High Deductible Health Plan will have the option to get a biometric screening in order to be eligible to receive an employer contribution to their Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account (in 2017 employer contributions will still be disbursed to all HDHP members).

The biometric screening results are completely confidential–Kettering Health Network only knows whether or not someone participated. Your numbers are for you to use in pursuit of a healthy future. 

Why know your numbers?

Diseases from lifestyle-induced conditions take the lives of more than seven in 10 Americans,” according to the American Hospital Association. 

But research shows that focusing on achieving a normal range in six areas (LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, waist-to-height ratio, stress management, and tobacco toxins) with or without medication, reduces chronic disease by 80-90% over a 10 to 30-year period. The biometric screening focuses on 4 of these six factors. 

What to do after you get your results

At the time of your biometric screening, you will receive initial health coaching by someone who will go over what your results mean. You may hear them recommend a few actions you can take immediately, as well as a referral/action plan for follow-up care management. 

Schedule your biometric screening now

Engaged members have screenings offered from October 31-December 6, 2016. You can schedule your screening now.
