  • On-Campus Biometric Screenings

    You and your covered spouse/LDA are required to participate in the biometric screening and complete the Health Power Assessment annually in order to receive a $50 Wellness Reduction Premium per month on your Loyola medical plan. On-site biometric screenings will be available at select dates and times this fall, starting in September. Visit the Health Maintenance Institute (HMI) website to sign up (new users can register with site code L773); on-site biometric screenings are by appointment only. You can also visit your doctor or a Quest Lab and submit the appropriate form to HMI. New this year, you have the option to add additional preventive blood tests for CBC (complete blood count), TSH (thyroid), Vitamin D, and PSA (prostate specific antigen, for males only) to your biometric screening at no cost to you. These tests are considered preventive under your medical plan, but you must present your Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance card for these additional screenings to be covered.

  • Off-site Biometric Screenings

    If on-site biometric screenings don't fit in your or your spouse/LDA's schedule, you have two options for off-site screenings: 1. You may visit your doctor. Note: Those who have had a biometric screening performed by their doctor anytime in 2019 may submit these results. The biometric screening must take place, and the completed Health Provider Screening Form is required to be submitted on or before November 27, 2019. 2. You may visit a Quest Diagnostics lab (Individual Screening Program Form submission prior to the visit, and on or before November 25, 2019 is required). The deadline to complete an off-site biometric screening is November 27, 2019.

  • Free Flu Shots

    During the Lake Shore and Water Tower campus biometric screenings, all faculty and staff are invited to walk in and receive flu shots; no appointment is necessary. Flu shots at the Health Sciences Campus are mandatory each fall and details are forthcoming. If you are unable to be on campus for your flu shot, please remember that for members who are enrolled in our Blue Cross Blue Shield medical insurance, flu shots are available at no out-of-pocket cost at any in-network provider office or in-network clinic. Be sure to confirm that the pharmacy accepts your Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage before you get your vaccination. Important note: Flu shots are covered under your medical plan, not your pharmacy benefit. You must present your Blue Cross Blue Shield medical card to receive this benefit.

  • June 2019 Human Resources Website Security Initiative

    Human Resources and the Financial Systems departments have been working with ITS to secure high risk documents on our website to avert fraudulent activity. Currently, our website has forms and instructions that specifically deal with sensitive information and the goal to reduce university risk is to secure those forms on our website via SharePoint, so anyone with a Loyola login (UVID) and password are able to access those documents. In the coming weeks, some of the HR and Finance forms will be updated to SharePoint URLs. At that time we will also establish redirect links to ensure that the original forms are not accessible without login credentials. If there are any questions, please contact Human Resources at hr-wtc@luc.edu.
