Use Your Biometric Screening Data
|
|
If you completed your biometric screening in the fall, or as a new hire earlier this year, the Wellness Team encourages you to bring that data with you to your next annual medical exam. This helps save you time and money, plus you may avoid another needlestick!
If you don't have your results in hand, you can see an electronic copy on the
Quest Diagnostics website. Just enter the user name and password you used when you scheduled the appointment.
