Biometric Screening & Health Assessment

The biometric screening is bloodwork and body measurements; the health assessment is an online questionnaire that provides you with a personalized analysis.

The goal of both activities is to stay informed about key health indicators and identify potential 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. See Why are Annual Biometric Screenings Important? to learn how screenings can empower better health.

No action is needed.

You do not need to complete a biometric screening and a health assessment in 2026. All employees on the County medical plan will receive the preferred medical premium and save $500 in 2027.

You may get an onsite biometric screening during work time with prior approval from your supervisor if the location and timeframe are reasonable and do not interfere with the department’s ability to continue County services. For an offsite biometric screening, you will need to use approved leave.

The clinical health risk assessment (CHRA) is an online questionnaire that collects information about your current health status and conditions, including lifestyle behaviors, health-related activities, and adherence with recommended preventive screenings. After completing the CHRA, you will get a personalized list of recommendations from UMR in about one week.

• Take the CHRA on UMR’s Live Well Reward$ platform (log into UMR.com, select Health Center, Live Well Reward$, and Clinical Health Risk Assessment. 

The CHRA takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. It gathers important data about daily life and health and provides context for real-life challenges people may face that could impact their health. This data helps us to design wellness programs. For example, if we learn that 75% of our employees have trouble getting enough sleep, we could offer sleep-related resources. The assessment also helps UMR offer programs to assist employees with their needs. For example, someone who reports that they are struggling with high cholesterol may receive helpful information from UMR’s GenYou team related to cholesterol management.

This personalized outreach is not shared with Pinellas County, only aggregate data such as 40% of employees have high cholesterol. UMR provides only overall trend data to Pinellas County that cannot be tied to any individuals. For questions, contact the Wellness team at wellness@pinellas.gov or (727) 464-3367, option 1.
