Biometric Screenings

Absolutely! We provide many screening options. You can customize your screening according to your employee group.

To create the best possible event, we recommend submitting your request at least 60 days in advance. Depending on size, location and time of year, we may be able to accommodate you with less notice. 

We send an experienced event coordinator to each event and we facilitate the event with our network of trained medical professionals. Since we are a national company, many of our professionals reside in your area.

Yes, we are accustomed to organizing events around the clock to accommodate all shifts.

Generally we have a minimum order of 20 screenings per event; however, please talk with an account executive for more details.

No, we do not require employees to pre-register for their screenings. However, to cut down on wait time and to make the event smooth and successful, we highly recommend that participants sign up in advance. Our proprietary tool, Register My Time helps the company schedule appointments online.

Fasting for 9 hours or more is recommended, but not required for our finger-stick screenings. Total Cholesterol, HDL, Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio, and Glucose are accurately evaluated without fasting, but participants must fast to receive their LDL and Triglyceride values. We do require a 12 hour fast for all venipuncture blood-draw tests.

People with a severe allergy to eggs or other components of the vaccine. People who are significantly ill with a fever should wait until symptoms subside before getting their flu shot.
