Monthly Walk-in Health Screenings |
Employee Benefits has partnered with Boynton
Health Service to offer monthly walk-in Health
Screenings for UPlan members from May to
December 2008. 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) |
New Test and New Hours for Monthly Health
Screenings!
As of September 2008 we are pleased to offer
Fasting Cholesterol Testing in place of the
Non-fasting Cholesterol Testing previously
offered. Fasting Cholesterol Testing takes more
preparation, but yields more accurate results*.
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.
To accommodate Fasting Cholesterol Testing, the
times of the Monthly Health Screening have
changed. |

*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.
