FAQs
Why should I do the biometric screening and clinical health risk assessment (CHRA) each year?
The goal is to identify your health risks, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, which may be prevented through early detection and lifestyle changes. We recommend reviewing your results with your doctor.

Which biometric screening option should I use?
In order for your results to be counted as complete, you must use Option 1: Direct-to-Quest, Option 2: Onsite Biometric Screenings, or Option 3: Physician Lab Form.
- Option 1: Direct-to-Quest and Option 2: Onsite Screenings are the quickest, most efficient ways to get a biometric screening.
- If you want to use Option 1 AND do additional labs your doctor orders, you must make an appointment using the Pinellas Quest site AND a separate appointment through the regular Questdiagnostics.com site for your doctor’s lab orders. That way, the lab technician at Quest knows they need to draw blood for separate lab work. Additional lab work is not available for Option 2: Onsite Screenings.
- If you want your doctor to order all of the lab work, including everything on the biometric screening, use Option 3: Physician Lab Form.
- Do NOT make an appointment on the Pinellas Quest site.
- Make an appointment at any in-network lab.
- We encourage you to complete the lab work your doctor ordered and have the doctor complete the form early in the year since it can take up to 2 weeks for the form to be processed.
- Upload the form as early as possible to UMR’s Live Well Reward$ platform due to the longer processing time.
- Another option is to print the Physician Lab Form and take it to a convenience care clinic such as CVS or Walgreens for completion and signature.
What items are measured in the biometric screening?
- Blood pressure
- Height
- Weight
- Waist circumference
- Cholesterol (HDL, LDL, total)
- Triglycerides
- Glucose (blood sugar)
- A1C (optional test to measure your average blood sugar level, available with or without a diabetes diagnosis)
If my annual physical is in November or December, what should I do?
Get your screening done early at one of the onsite screening locations throughout the year. If you are not able to attend, using Option 1 (Direct-to-Quest) is highly encouraged because it’s quick, paperless, and results are available in 2-3 days.
However, if you prefer to have your doctor order the lab work, tell your doctor you do NOT have to wait 365 days between your annual physicals because our medical plan runs on a calendar year basis which means insurance will cover the cost of the visit and preventive lab work any time during the year. Schedule your appointment earlier in the year if you use the Physician Lab Form and have your doctor order lab work as part of your annual physical. For example, if your last physical was in November, you can schedule the appointment earlier without incurring any cost.
If your doctor insists you wait 365 days before scheduling this year’s appointment, use the Direct-to-Quest option or get an onsite biometric screening earlier in the year to ensure you meet the November 30 deadline.
What if I got bloodwork done but did not use the Direct-to-Quest, onsite screening, or Physician Lab Form options?
Your biometric screening will not be considered completed unless you use Option 1: Direct-to-Quest, Option 2: Onsite Biometric Screenings, or Option 3: Physician Lab Form.
Schedule another blood draw using the Direct-to-Quest Patient Service Center appointment scheduler at My.QuestForHealth.com (no additional cost even if you already had lab work done).
How can I check whether I completed my biometric screening and/or health assessment?

Do I need to set up a new account on My.QuestForHealth.com if I used it last year?
Yes, but only if you choose Option 1: Direct-to-Quest or Option 2: Onsite Biometric Screenings. The Physician Lab Form can be downloaded from UMR’s Live Well Reward$ Wellness portal.
