The most common screening provided to our clients is Biometric screenings. This screening measures total cholesterol, HDL (good), LDL (bad), Triglycerides, glucose (blood sugar), blood pressure and either height, weight and Body-Mass Index (BMI) or body-fat percentage screening. Some clients substitute hip and waist measurements for the BMI and Body-fat screenings or also add these measurements to the biometric results.
The objective of biometric screenings is to identify medium and high risk individuals and develop company objectives to reduce their risk category toward the lower risk groups. Statistics widely available soundly prove that moving someone from high to medium risk and medium to low risk can saves thousands of dollars per year per employee in health care costs.
Biometrics are just part of an overall health strategy. Biometrics done without much planning result in a lost opportunity to reduce the increase in health care cost trends. Biometrics are a great way assess health of your employee population. It the screening are not done with proper planning and implementation a great deal of their value is lost!

As you said biometric screenings are extremely important because they measure blood cholesterol level, glucose levels, BMI, etc. But I think biometric screenings should be looked at as just one part of an even bigger whole. The whole being health screenings (www.elitehealth.com).
A health screening is like a revolutionary preventative medicine check-up. They are included in the average concierge medicine plan. Look at www.elitehealth.com for a more in-depth explanation.
I think Biometric screenings is a good way to allow the patient to learn about their current health status, and determine her risk for common diseases including diabetes, heart disease, asthma and other medical conditions. Results of the biometric screening can help to identify various diseases or health problems, and allow the patient to work with their physician to lower their health risks for certain conditions.
