Biometric Health Screenings
Biometric Health Screenings
Notice Regarding Wellness Program
All benefits-participating University employees and their benefits-participating spouses/partners are encouraged to conduct an annual health screening so they stay on track with their wellness goals.
Eligible Participants will receive $60* added to the paycheck of the benefits-carrier. It will appear on a paycheck under the line item of "Healthy OHIO." Please note that it can take up to a full quarter following the close of the participation window for payouts to appear on a paycheck.
*Taxed as income, appears on the paycheck of the benefits-carrier within one quarter of the conclusion of the screening window.
Choose from Two Health Screening Options:
You only need to participate in one of the two options to receive the incentive:
Option One: Physician Screening Form
Download the Physician Screening Form
If you prefer to have your own physician complete your biometric health screening, there's an option for that! Simply print and complete the Physician Screening Form with your physician and have it faxed to WellWorks (instructions on the form).
Dates to Know:
- Physician Screening Forms for all eligible participants affiliated with all OHIO campuses will be accepted on a rolling basis from July 1 - May 31.
- Forms received July 1-November 30 will be processed for payroll payout** in December/January.
- Forms received December 1-May 31 will be processed for payout** in June.
Additional Physician Screening Form Details:
Eligible employees/spouses/partners who received a qualifying health screening from their physician can submit a Physician Screening Form (see PDF below) instead of attending a screening event. Please note that this is a three-page document.
Forms: Please utilize the form below (same form for all campuses) for qualifying lab work. The agreement (page 1) and the physician screening form (pages 2-3) are both due at the same time.
Physician Screening Form logistics:
- If eligible participants complete a screening at WorkHealth or an on-campus screening, they do not need to complete a Physician Screening Form, unless otherwise informed by the screener.
- Once your physician has completed the required fields of the forms, you or your physician can fax the completed and signed forms (3 pages) to WellWorks per the instructions on the form.
- We will contact you when we receive the form. Please email wellworks@ohio.edu if you do not hear from us.
We highly encourage participants who utilize the Physician Screening Form to discuss the status of their appointment with their physician to ensure the visit is classified as preventive care*** within the Anthem network.
Option Two: On-Campus Screening Events:
In FY26, School of Nursing will host regularly scheduled screening events at various locations on the Athens campus in an attempt to improve ease of participation among employees. Regional campus events are offered in relationship to the number of eligible employees on each campus, as well.

- Zanesville and Dublin: Screening Dates TBD.
Pre - Scheduling Requirement:
Please note that enrollment in Personify Health prior to online scheduling is required for spouses/partners and highly encouraged for employees.
It may take several weeks for an enrolled individual to appear in the screening eligibility file, so we recommend enrolling now to eliminate a long wait time for scheduling.
This pre-enrollment process will allow for online verification of e-signature of the consent form.
Scheduling:
Online scheduling for employees and their spouses/partners is now open and will close 36 hours prior to each event. Follow the instructions at the link below.
Additional Details:
Enrollment in Personify Required:
In an effort to better protect your privacy and ensure timely payout, enrollment in Personify Health is now required for spouses/partners prior to scheduling your screening.
Accessing your Results:
Please note that, with both of the options above, your results should be provided to you directly. Additionally, results will be input into your profile in Personify, but it may take several months for the results to process. WellWorks will not retain a copy of your results. Participants are responsible for sharing their results with their physician.
Interpreting your Results:
After you have received your results, you can learn how to interpret your results and learn about programs that can support you.
Fasting Details:
For all campus screenings: It is recommended that you fast for your screening 8-12 hours; however, if you need to schedule a time when fasting is difficult, don't fast. Inform the clinical team you are non-fasting and a non-fasting parameter for results will be used. Water is always allowed and is encouraged.
**Payout Timelines
Please note that it does take some time to process all Healthy OHIO data and submit such data to payroll for payout on a paycheck. It is our intention for payouts to occur in December/January and June annually (depending on when you completed your screening). It is our intention for payouts to appear on the payslip of the benefits-carrier within 90 days of the payout deadline. Though, please be aware that unforeseen obstacles may delay such payouts. Reminder: You must be enrolled in Personify to receive the payout.
***Costs Associated with Screenings
If opting to utilize the Physician Screening Form option: While preventive care within the Anthem network is covered at 100%, services that are outside of the Anthem network and/or not classified as preventive care are subject to cost sharing. Please discuss the status of your visit with your physician's office. If your appointment cannot be classified as a Preventive Exam due to pre-existing conditions, we recommend scheduling your appointment during an on-campus offering from the School of Nursing.
