Health Screenings
Know the numbers that count…
Many serious health conditions develop over
time, but they can be delayed or prevented if
you know your risks and make healthy changes.
Understand your health risks by having a Health Screening performed.
These screenings will measure:
 Blood pressure
 Glucose
 Cholesterol
 Body Mass Index (BMI)
Don’t know your numbers? It’s easy to get them.
Simply visit your Physician to get your screening.
The Tulane medical plans include one preventive exam
per year covered at 100%.
