Biometric Screenings: Your First Step Toward Wellness Savings
Biometric screenings are quick, confidential health assessments that measure key health indicators such as blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose levels, and body composition. These screenings are the only requirement for eligible Boise School District employees and retirees under age 65 to opt into the Regence Wellness Medical Plan, which offers lower premiums, copays, and deductibles.
Participation in a biometric screening helps you stay informed about your health while opening the door to valuable medical plan savings—without sharing your results with the District.

2025-26 BIOMETRIC SCREENING DETAILS & REMINDERS
Registration opens on August 18, 2025
If your preferred location is full or not hosting, you’re welcome to sign up at a different Boise School District location or at the Saint Alphonsus Wellness Office.
These quick 15-minute appointments run back-to-back—please arrive on time for your scheduled slot.
If a school or location is closed that day, due to unforeseen circumstances, the event is canceled (watch for email notifications).
These screenings are fast, free, and confidential—a standalone BSD benefit with no insurance billing. If you choose to use your own provider, that visit will be billed to your insurance.
Benefits-eligible Boise School District employees & retirees under age 65 enrolled in the BSD health plan are eligible to participate in the Biometric Screenings.
Spouses/partners, dependents, and non-enrolled employees are NOT eligible to participate in the Biometric Screenings.
District screenings are not billed to insurance, so they do not earn points toward Regence Empower rewards. To earn points redeemable for gift cards in the Regence Empower program, you must complete your screening through your own provider, with the visit billed directly to Regence.

What to Expect at a Biometric Screening
What to Expect at a Biometric Screening
Simple, Standard, and Confidential
Biometric screenings are quick health assessments designed to give you a snapshot of your overall wellness. They’re performed by trained professionals and take only about 15 minutes to complete. These screenings are non-invasive and are focused on key indicators of health:
Blood Pressure – Helps detect signs of elevated stress or cardiovascular risk
Blood Draw – Measures cholesterol, glucose, and other important health markers
Waist Circumference – Assesses central risk factors
Height & Weight – Used to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI)
Tobacco Use – Captures self-reported usage
These standard screenings are confidential and results are not shared with the District. They are provided for your personal awareness and serve as the only requirement for being eligible to opt into the Regence Wellness Medical Plan.
