Hemoglobin A1C
A screening that reflects average blood sugar levels for the past two to three months. Recommended for diabetics or those with a family history of high blood sugar. (Immediate fasting blood sugar glucose level is included in the Chemistry Profile.)
Flu Vaccine
Seasonal availability. Recommended yearly by the CDC.
Wellness Platform
A one year subscription to the WHF Wellness Platform which includes a comprehensive Health Assessment. Take control of your wellness program with features like exercise trackers, meal planners and workshops
Nicotine Swab*

Participant Paid Screenings
Submit WHF receipt with claim form to UMR for consideration under your medical plan.
Note: Not all tests may be eligible under your medical plan. Please contact UMR at 800.826.9781 to verify what tests may be considered.
Men's Testosterone, Total
Screening used to evaluate testosterone hormone levels.
Women's Testosterone, Total
(Women and Hypogonadal Males) Provides the sensitivity and specificity required for the assessment of the low testosterone levels found in women and hypogonadal men.
Thyroid Panel 2
This test delivers an enhanced thyroid profile because it screens for the level of Free T4 and Free T3 hormones in the bloodstream. This is an important distinction, since the level of Free T4 hormone illustrates how much is immediately available for use by cells, and measure of Free T3 hormone in the body is considered a more accurate view of hormonal balance than a Total T3 reading.
T3, Reverse
The Reverse T3 (RT3) test measures the inactive form of the hormone. Reverse T3 is not regularly checked as often as other thyroid hormones but may be tested when someone is experiencing symptoms of low thyroid production but shows normal results from other thyroid tests.
Thyroid Antibodies
Checks for antibodies that can injure the thyroid, affecting thyroid function. Includes thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin antibody.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Expanded Panel
These tests can help identify rheumatoid arthritis and arthritis associated with autoimmune disorders. Test includes: C-Reactive protein (CRP) Quantitative test; cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies; rheumatoid arthritis factor. • Also Includes a Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) Screening. An autoimmune disorder screening, ANA is a type of auto-antibody that attacks proteins inside your cells
Vitamin D-25 Hydroxy
Provides an assessment of overall Vitamin D status for the screening of deficiency or toxicity. Measures both D2 and D3 together to report a total 25-hydroxy Vitamin D.
Hepatitis C Antibody
This test checks for antibodies to Hep. C indicating a previous infection. The CDC recommends this test once for adults with no risks born between 1945 and 1965. Also for those who have injected drugs or were recipients of transfusions or organ transplants prior to 1992.
Blood Type - ABO RH
