Biometric Screenings:

Preventative care is paid 100% by the Health Plan when services are received by Magers or another contracted provider.

General employees:

All employees are encouraged to undergo annual biometric screening, which is a covered preventative service under the Health Plan, and can be completed throughout the year.

Employees who have flu vaccination accommodation:

Employees with an approved accommodation to the 2024 wellness incentive program will be permitted to earn the $15 monthly incentive by completing biometrics in lieu of vaccination. (additional $15 monthly portion of incentive will require completion of educational questionnaire).
