Employeer Offers HC Discount if you provide medica

Company is offering Biometric Screening


Quote:
Biometric Screening – Receive a 10% discount on your Medical insurance premiums for participating in this free and confidential biometric screening!
Quote:
Height, Weight, BMI, % Body Fat etc.

Blood work for cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar etc.
So if I share my Confidential Medical Information aka get my free screening ... I can get a discount ...

I see this a Nanny State mentality ...

what is next ...

telling me I am to fat ... I need to lose weight ?


I am sure it will be in a friendly coaching environment after all we are here to help ...





and what about Smoking ....

Its a good business move for insurance companies, just like getting a discount on your auto insurance for being a good driver.
