Save money in the BPS Health Plan with these Wellness Activities: Biometric Screening & Health AssessmentIn order to receive a reduced in-network deductible in the health plan, BOTH wellness activities -- a biometric screening (at a BPS Well-Care Center)** AND a Health Assessment (at mycigna.com) -- must be completed by prescribed deadlines
** Biometric screenings are free at BPS Well-Care Centers and no form is required. Simply contact a Well-Care Center to schedule your biometric screening. Should you wish to use your own physician, BPS's Primary Care Physician Biometric Screening Form (links below) is required to be completed by your physician during an annual physical and it will be your responsibility to submit the original form with physician's signature to a Well-Care Center for processing.
