Your health claims report tells you what your employees are currently experiencing from a health perspective. An HRA tells you what they are at risk for in the near and far future.

Based on the results of a Health Monitor test, Wellness Center staff can conduct a Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) for individuals who are part of a larger group, whether it is at work or a health fair. Individual results are mailed to each person's home. A management summary of the group’s health risk assessment provides group results of health risks while also maintaining confidentiality.

There are various screening options to use in conjunction with the HRA. We encourage combining the HRA with a screening to provide accurate health status data. Plan A involves the HRA, fingerstick total cholesterol check and blood pressure screening. Plan B includes all of the above plus a body fat analysis or glucose test. Plan C includes all of Plan B and a flexibility test. Plan D includes a HRA, fractionated cholesterol (venipuncture), blood pressure screening, body fat analysis and flexibility test.

Wellness Center staff can review the group report and develop a comprehensive wellness plan for your employees based on risk.
