Wellness Wednesday – Prevention benefit comes with free physicals, lab tests

This is a reminder that employees who have Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance through UNMC or UNMC Physicians have access to a wellness benefit that annually covers $250 in physicals and lab tests without deductibles and co-pays.

The benefit is designed to better allow employees to manage their overall health by consistently monitoring common health indicators.

Employees must see a UNMC Physician to fully maximize the benefit, which covers an annual physical and lab tests such as complete blood counts, lipid profile, metabolic panel, prostatic specific antigen and pap smears.
