What is a biometric screening?

A biometric screening is a combination of measurements and readings about certain health factors that may be helpful in identifying potential risk factors for chronic disease or conditions, like heart disease, hypertension or diabetes.

What can I expect during my biometric screening appointment?

The dietitian will collect several body measurements. They will collect a blood sample from a finger prick that will be used to determine your cholesterol levels, triglycerides and glucose levels. They will also take resting blood pressure; measurements of heights weight and waist; and body mass index.

All information is kept confidential and complies with the requirements of HIPPA. The entire screening process typically lasts 15-20 minutes and you will receive all your results during this appointment. The dietitian will review the results of your screening during your appointment.

You must fast 9-12 hours prior to your screening time. Water is OK.

The cost is $45 and due the day of the appointment.
If you are a Hy-Vee employee on Hy-Vee insurance this screening is covered by your benefits plan.
