2009-2010 Monthly Walk-in Health Screenings

UPlan members, MTM services are available at Boynton—at no cost to you!


Employee Benefits has partnered with Boynton Health Service to offer monthly walk-in Health Screenings for UPlan members throughout 2009. Trained Boynton Health Service staff will perform tests and help you interpret the results.

Health Screenings are no additional charge for UPlan medical program members and covered spouses or same-sex domestic partners. Each testing session takes approximately 5 to 15 minutes. Testing is first-come, first-served.

Tests offered include the following. Wait times vary depending on demand. Typical wait times are indicated below.

• Fasting Cholesterol and Blood Glucose Testing* (15 to 60 minutes wait)
• Body Mass Index and Body Composition Testing (5 to 25 minutes wait)
• Blood Pressure Check (5 to 25 minutes wait)

*For a Fasting Cholesterol Test, individuals must fast (not eat anything) at least 8 hours before testing. You may drink water, but coffee, tea, or pop may interfere with the test and should be avoided.

Why Fasting Cholesterol Testing?
At the Monthly Health Screening, you receive your Total Cholesterol, HDL and LDL levels. Because triglyceride levels are highly influenced by what an individual has eaten 8 to 12 hours before testing, fasting before your cholesterol test gives the most accurate LDL results.
