Biometric Health Screenings

As part of Ohio University's Personify Health program, Anthem members* can earn a $60 incentive by completing a biometric health screening.

How It Works

To receive the $60 incentive, you must be enrolled in Personify Health and complete your biometric health screening. Choose the screening option that works best for you:

  • Participate in an on-campus biometric health screening event, or 
  • Have your primary care provider complete the biometric health screening form. 

*Anthem members eligible to participate include the benefits-enrolled employee and their enrolled spouse or partner.


What is a Biometric Health Screening?

A biometric health screening is an assessment of your blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol levels, and glucose.  These help you to identify early risk factors for chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.  Blood is taken from a quick finger stick.  The appointment takes roughly 10-15 minutes.

Choose a Screening Option

Enrollment in Personify Health is required to receive the $60 biometric health screening incentive.

  • On-Campus Screening Events

    Before You Schedule

    Enrollment in Personify Health is required before scheduling an on-campus screening. After enrolling, there may be a delay before information appears in the screening eligibility system. To avoid delays in scheduling a screening, we encourage you to enroll in Personify Health as soon as possible.
