Subject: Ohio State Wellness Opportunity Reminder: Biometric Health Screening

Hello all,

I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to send out one final reminder that there is a Biometric Health Screening opportunity in Smith Laboratory 4191 next Wednesday (09.21.2022). It appears there are time slots available from 12 PM to 2:30 PM. Please refer to the info below on how to sign up and get premium credit off your employee medical plan contributions!

Note: Unfortunately, OSU employees who have OSU Student health insurance are NOT eligible for the yearly complimentary biometric health screening and the health insurance premium credit.

--------


Don't put your health on hold. It's important to continue preventive care, such as your annual well exam or biometric screening. Enrolled faculty and staff can earn a $25/month premium credit, or up to $40/month with an enrolled spouse, off of employee medical plan contributions by completing a Personal Health and Well-being Assessment (PHA) <https://yp4h.osu.edu/about/pha/> and a verified Biometric Screening <https://yp4h.osu.edu/about/biometric-health-screening/>



Your verified Biometric Screening, consisting of height, weight, blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL, and blood sugar value (either glucose or A1C), can be completed in the following way.


If you complete an on-campus screening* <https://linktohealth.osu.edu/>  you will automatically receive credit for completing the verified biometric screening. Due to the pandemic, increased safety protocol and many still working remotely, screening events will be available but limited.



*         On September 21st,  the OSU Health Plan's (OSUHP) RN Health Promotion Specialist(s) will be in  SM4191 to complete complimentary biometric screenings* for our department. See below for screening registration details.

Personal Health and Well-being Assessment (PHA)



Once you've completed a verified Biometric Screening, you will need to complete the PHA (under "Health Check" in your Virgin Pulse account).



Once you've completed a verified Biometric Screening, your values will be populated into your PHA.





Confirm Screening & PHA Completion



When your verified Biometric Screening and PHA have been processed, it will be reflected in your Virgin Pulse account. To confirm completion, log in to your Virgin Pulse account and select "REWARDS" under the Home tab. When you see a checkmark beside the PHA and screening descriptions, you have completed the requirements to earn the premium credit.
