Maintaining good health is important for you and those around you. Good health can help increase energy, avoid major illnesses and improve our mental health to name a few benefits. That’s why our HealthyLiving wellness program and health care plan offers options for completing a biometric health screening.
An important part of your health is to learn your numbers, celebrate where you are doing well and take a look at where you can improve. Knowing your numbers is key to getting on the path to improved wellbeing. A biometric health screening is an easy way to learn your numbers – like blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and Body Mass Index (BMI) – and keep track of your health over time.
Log in to your HealthyLiving account on the Virgin Pulse app or the website > Benefits > type Health Screening Available Options into the search bar to find the Health Screening Form, home test kit information and vouchers.
Below are options for completing a biometric health screening:
- Health Care Provider or commercial driver’s license exam
FirstEnergy's health plan covers designated in-network wellness care services at 100%*. Download the HealthyLiving Health Screening Form and take it to your Health Care Provider to complete the remaining information – including biometric results. Deadline to return a form is June 15.
Employees who have a commercial driver’s license (CDL) may use physical exams that may be required for the CDL for their health screening.
- Home Test Kit
You can complete your biometric screening from the privacy and convenience of home with a home test kit. If requested, the home test kit is mailed directly to you and includes testing supplies and detailed instructions. The kit tests total cholesterol, triglycerides and A1C – you can self-report height, weight and blood pressure, if available. Your rewards and screening results will appear in your HealthyLiving account approximately four weeks from the time you return the completed test kit. Deadline to order a kit is April 15. Kits must be returned no later than May 1.
- Voucher at a CVS Minute Clinic or LabCorp Location
Download the health screening voucher and take it with you. No appointment is necessary. Deadline to return a voucher is June 15.

*Services are not considered wellness (and covered at 100%) if you get them as part of being diagnosed, monitored or treated for an illness or injury (except certain care in relation to pregnancy). You may incur out-of-pocket costs if you receive non-wellness care services during the same office visit.
