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.

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.
