Biometric screenings provide a snapshot of key health measures including height, weight, blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL, and a blood sugar value (either glucose or A1C). Enrolled faculty and staff can earn a $25/month premium credit, or up to $40/month with an enrolled spouse, off of employee medical plan contributions by completing a verified Biometric Screening and Personal Health and Well-being Assessment (PHA).
Once you’ve completed a verified biometric screening, you will need to complete the PHA (under "Health” tab in your Virgin Pulse account). It will be listed as “Surveys”. Once you’ve completed a verified biometric screening, your values will automatically load to your YP4H/Virgin Pulse account by the next day or two.
When your verified biometric screening and PHA have been processed, it will be reflected in your Virgin Pulse account. To confirm completion, log in to your Virgin Pulse account and select “REWARDS” under the Home tab. When you see a checkmark beside the PHA and screening descriptions, you have completed the requirements to earn the premium credit.
