New this year. You can get a biometric screening, which provides you with critical numbers related to your health, instead of an annual physical as part of Cooper’s Wellness Incentive.
Remember to sign up for your biometric screening at the Cooper Clock Tower in Voorhees! Walk-ins are also accepted on July 11, 2018, and July 13, 2018, but appointments are recommended.
In the fast-paced world of health care, it can be easy to lose sight of your own well-being as you focus on caring for others. To help you better understand your current health status and potential health risks, Cooper is offering free biometric screenings to all employees enrolled in the AmeriHealth plan as part of our Thrive365 program.
Biometric screenings provide reliable information about your risk for chronic, preventable conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and obesity.
As an added convenience and time-saver, employees who plan to participate in the 2018 Cooper Annual Wellness Incentive can receive a biometric screening instead of an annual physical.
To be eligible for the Annual Wellness Incentive, employees must:
- Be enrolled in the Cooper Basic, Core, or Standard Plan.
- Complete an annual physical or biometric screening.
- Attest to being a non-tobacco user during Open Enrollment.
- Complete a Personal Health Assessment. Computers will be available to complete the assessment at the biometric screenings or click here to complete it now.
What to expect at the screenings:
- For optimal results you must fast eight hours prior to screening.
- Screenings take approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
- During these screenings your height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose, HDL, LDL, TC/HDL ratio, cholesterol, and triglycerides will be assessed.
- The screenings are administered by licensed RNs and LPNs from US Wellness.
- Screening results are confidential. You will receive a copy of your results for your records and to share with your provider. Results are also accessible to your Cooper provider through Epic if you choose.
Biometric screenings are available on the following dates for 2018:
- Voorhees – July 11 and July 13, 2018
- Cooper University Hospital – August 1 through August 31, 2018 (see schedule for dates)
