In addition to the required Health Risk Assessment, the Biometric Screening Attestation is one of the four options (along with tobacco attestation, primary care provider attestation, and/or dental check-up/cancer screening attestation; participants choose at least two of the four activities to complete) that are offered for faculty and staff who want to earn the Monthly Wellness Incentive.
The Biometric Screening Attestation form can be found on the Wellness Tile within HCM between September 1 and November 30 annually. New hires to the university should complete the paper form included in their orientation packet.
Biometric Screening Attestation
A Biometric Screening is defined as a blood test ordered by a Primary Care Provider (PCP), such as a Medical Doctor (MD), Doctor of Osteopathic Medine (DO), Nurse Practitioner (NP), or Physician Assistant (PA). The screening should include, at a minimum, height, weight, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, and possibly waist circumference. PCPs use screening data to assess and evaluate health risks. This preventive care is important to monitor your health and to ensure that you receive the right care at the right time, based on your current health status.
The Biometric Screening Attestation requires you to honestly attest that you have completed, or will complete, a Biometric Screening with my Primary Care Provider (PCP) during the program year.
