Part of our requirements for our deductible waiver is doing an online health risk assessment, which requires that info. However, we do not ever get that info, it goes to the health care company.<br><br>
Plus, technically, it's your choice. You only have to do it if you want to save the extra money. You'd be surprised at how many people have NEVER had that stuff done, and are walking around with high blood pressure, cholesterol, or glucose. Getting that info is the first step, and sometimes that scary wake up call, for a lot of people. Those people cost the plan money because they develop chronic conditions. If we can find out overall what the health concerns of our employee population looks like, we can target our programs and training.<br><br>
Our health risk assessments would never tell you that, either. We measure height, weight, BMI, body fat, along with all the other blood draw info. Then we provide a comprehensive report to employees based on that info. By we, I don't mean the HR staff, I mean qualified health professionals within our health care system.<br><br>
Over the last 4 years or so we've seen our culture really change to be more wellness oriented. It's pretty amazing.<br><br>
We also have a hard time reaching some of the groups, like our field operation folks. But this whole deductible waiver program is an honest to god money savings, of up to $900 for family coverage. So that gets their attention! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
Plus we pay them $50 to do the blood draw and health risk assessment. And we pay them when they complete our wellness training curriculum. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">
