Wellness Physical<br />
Seeing your doctor each year to have a wellness check up make<br />
good sense. This is also a requirement to satisfy the requirements <strong>of</strong><br />
Wellness Rewards.<br />
How to Complete the Wellness Physical<br />
Schedule an appointment with an in-network doctor. You can find a<br />
in-network doctor by visiting www.myuhc.com and logging in with<br />
your UHC User Name and Password. This is not your <strong>District</strong> log in.<br />
You will then want to click on Find a Doctor .<br />
A basic annual check up is all that is required at this time. Again,<br />
preventative service should be at no co-payment.<br />
Biometric Health Screenings<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the first steps toward better health is to know your key<br />
measures. Biometric screenings include: BMI (Body Mass Index or<br />
Height/Weight), Fasting Total, HDL and LDL cholesterol, Fasting<br />
Blood Sugar/Glucose, and Blood Pressure. By knowing your key<br />
numbers you can assess your current health status and determine if<br />
you are at risk for health problems like heart disease and diabetes.<br />
Reviewing results with your doctor can provide personalized<br />
follow-up with recommended treatment and wellness tools to<br />
improve your health.<br />
How to Complete a Biometric Screening<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> an annual wellness visit at your doctor’s <strong>of</strong>fice, the doctor<br />
will measure your height/weight and blood pressure and will<br />
send you to a lab for blood work if not taken in their <strong>of</strong>fice. *Your<br />
biometric screening is part <strong>of</strong> your preventive care benefits which<br />
are covered at 100%. All Blood work must be done through a Lab<br />
Corporation <strong>of</strong> America (LabCorp) in order to count toward<br />
the Wellness Rewards program.<br />
If you do not have a primary care doctor, go to www.myuhc.com.<br />
Click on “Find Physician, Laboratory or Facility.” Select “United<br />
HealthCare Choice” for providers accepting the High Option<br />
HMO and /or Low Option HMO plans. Select “United HealthCare<br />
Options PPO” for the PPO plan.<br />
Health Assessment<br />
<strong>The</strong> Health Assessment is an online interactive tool which allows<br />
you to assess your lifestyle habits that are directly linked to<br />
health status and health care costs. <strong>The</strong>se lifestyle habits include:<br />
activity/exercise, alcohol use, back care, driving, eating, exams,<br />
self-care, smoking, stress, weight control, and well-being. <strong>The</strong><br />
results and recommendations from the health assessment provide<br />
immediate feedback to help you improve or maintain your health.<br />
It also assesses your risk for some key diseases like heart attack,<br />
diabetes, and cancer. Most importantly, your results are completely<br />
confidential and created especially for you, based on your answers<br />
to basic questions about your health habits. Once you receive the<br />
results <strong>of</strong> your assessment and set personalized wellness goals, you<br />
can begin achieving those goals. You’ll feel better about yourself<br />
and enjoy the reward <strong>of</strong> making healthy choices.<br />
