Questions regarding the biometric screenings not addressed on this FAQ page, can be sent to son-clinic-info@urmc.rochester.edu What is a Biometric Health Screening?Biometric Screenings provide an assessment of an individual's basic health status and offers valuable insight into an employee's health risks. The screening includes blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, and BMI, cholesterol, HDL, and glucose. Participants will need their employee ID to participate, and will receive results immediately. The screening takes approximately 15 minutes. Who is eligible to complete the Biometric Screening?Biometric Screenings are available at no cost to regular full-time and part-time faculty and staff (including SEIU employees). Non-Medicare eligible retirees and spouses who are enrolled in a University Health Care Plan are also eligible. How long does it take to receive $100?Once an employee completes the Personal Health Assessment, it takes approximately 2-4 weeks for the incentive to be credited to their paycheck. Employees should check their paycheck and look under additional earnings. How do I schedule an appointment?The clinic schedule is posted here: http://schedule.son.rochester.edu/default.aspx?PageID=10331 Clinics operate in a walk in format, but you may schedule a specific time using the online scheduling system if you choose. Do I need to fast for the screening?Fasting is not required for the screening. Will my personal results be shared?No. Your personal results are entirely confidential. The University of Rochester will receive an aggregate report that summarizes total average numbers to assist in planning Employee Wellness programs. Will my results be sent to my physician’s office?No. However, we encourage you to bring your report to your next doctor's visit or send the office a copy for your medical records file.
