Many diseases and conditions can be detected through a health screening long before symptoms are noticed. On average, one out of every ten participants is made aware of a potentially serious illness through these screenings. Early detection can lead to better healing with most health problems, as well as reduce the severity and cost of the illness. Monitoring cholesterol and other risks is key to preventing many health problems. Wellness screenings help in these and other ways.

Critical Opportunities
Consider the following:

  • Most employers and health plans cover preventive screenings/services at 100% up to $100-$400/year
  • But, only 8-13% of adults get the recommended screenings in any year via the doctor
  • Over 60% of employees want assistance to improve early detection
  • Motivation and costs are not the problem – convenience and hassles are the main barriers to compliance
  • When screenings and HRAs are offered at the worksite, participation ranges from 24% to over 95%
  • Participation is even higher if participation is required for plan eligibility or the right incentive
  • Screenings at work only take 10-15 minutes/person
  • Costs of core screenings at the worksite are 50-70% less than at the doctors office

Here’s how most employers can dramatically improve early detection results:

  • Offer standard core screenings at the worksite every 1-3 years to all employees and spouses
  • Implement employee-wide training in early detection (link to that page)
  • After training, consider adding supplemental screening options based on the health problems/risks specific to the workforce
  • Consider the plan as a primary funding source
  • Integrate EAP, self-care, online and other resources into overall early detection plan

Core 100+ Screening Components
This wellness screening has over 100 measures including:

  • 29 blood chemistry and 10 biometric measures including
    Glucose, Fructosamine, Total Cholesterol, HDL/LDL
    Cholesterol and Complete Blood Count, Blood Pressure,
    Resting Pulse, Body Mass Index and Hip/Waist Ratio.
  • Over 65 other measures via the Health Power Assessment
    (HPA) – plus flexible delivery options including online,
    laptop, paper and blended strategies (see HPA page).
  • Optional reflex tests (automatic and variable by client, age,
    history, results from other blood tests and other factors)
    – e.g., HA1c, PSA, TSH, T4, HsCRP, cotinine, % body fat.
