Why are annual biometric screenings important?

When it comes to employer-sponsored biometric screenings, we are often asked why employers should provide yearly screenings to employees and their spouses/domestic partners. Screening data not only provides a foundation for employer wellness program evaluations, but the downstream cost-savings may also justify the investment in employee well-being.

The value of biometric screenings

Our country faces epidemics of inactivity, obesity, and diabetes, and annual biometric screenings can help close the gap in missing laboratory and claims data.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70% of medical decisions depend on laboratory test results.1

Biometric health screenings serve as the starting point for health improvement in 3 critical ways:

  • Identify health risks that may have been otherwise unknown to individuals.
  • Connect individuals to the in-network care they need based on clinical values to manage existing conditions
  • Empower better health by funneling individuals into the appropriate health improvement programs and employer-sponsored offerings based on laboratory results.
