For staff not electing District insurance, the CHRA will be available to complete beginning April 1st of the current wellness year. 

    You may also use your general practitioner to complete your biometric health screen. For this, refer to the Physician Lab Form. This must be completed and submitted to UMR, dated between January 1st and March 31st of the current wellness year. Completion of the health screen outside this window will not be accepted in place of the biometric blood draw.
