Why should employers offer biometric screenings?
Employers should offer biometric screenings to proactively strengthen workforce health and manage rising health care costs. Through Ochsner Health’s clinically guided screenings, organizations can identify chronic disease risks early, before they escalate into high-cost claims, while connecting employees to coordinated, in-network care at the right time. In addition, employers receive secure, aggregate population health reporting that informs benefits strategy, supports targeted well-being initiatives, and helps build a healthier, more productive workforce.
