Free, On-Site Health Screenings Filling Up Fast


Get your health checked on site and get $100!

The County’s popular wellness screening incentive is back. Employees can once again this year get key health indicators, like blood pressure and body mass index, checked for free. And get paid for doing so.

Starting March 11, employees can visit the Kaiser Permanente mobile health van at one of its 11 stops at County office locations. There, employees can get the screening, regardless of which health insurance provider they use, then be eligible for a $100 payout by following a few additional steps.

Employees just need to complete the screening, get a signature from medical personnel, then go to their health care provider’s website and fill out a Health Risk Assessment. Then they can send a confirmation form and the form signed by a medical provider to Human Resources’ Benefits Department. For more detailed instructions and the required paperwork, visit InSite’s Employee Health and Wellness Incentive Program Web page.

The mobile vans will make a series of visits to County offices from Vista to Chula Vista March 11-28. For details on when and where they will stop, check out the schedule.

Appointments are filling up quickly. As of Monday, slots were all booked at the County Operations Center, Health and Human Services Agency South Region office in Chula Vista and the East County Regional Center in El Cajon. Appointments were still available at the Duffy Administration Center in Kearny Mesa, Rosecrans Health Services Complex and County Administration Center. Appointments were almost filled at the North County Regional Center in Vista and Edgemoor Hospital in Santee.

To sign up, employees can call Kaiser Permanente at (619) 641-4536 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

If you can’t make it to these screenings, stay tuned for more information on additional free screenings to be offered at some County sites in April. You can also be eligible for the $100 if your own doctor performs the screening and you complete all the steps.
