How to participate in Peak Health

Routine blood tests measure various levels and markers that help keep track of your overall physical health. TIH covers the cost of lab work, depending on where you get it done.

Your lab work must be completed at least five business days before your nurse appointment. If it isn't, your appointment will be canceled, and you'll be dropped to phase 1. Your appointment will still be canceled if your lab work is completed within five days of the scheduled appointment. Please do not appear at the previously scheduled time.

Note: Only teammates must have blood work completed, not your spouse or domestic partner.

Exceptions: If you're pregnant or currently serving overseas in active military duty, please contact us immediately at 252-237-5090. 

You'll complete the assessment on CarePlusMobileHealth.com or the CarePlus Mobile Health app, when you sign up, then complete one every year by the last day of the month of the first appointment of the year. For example, if your appointment is on Feb. 16, the assessment must be completed by Feb 28. (Participants and spouses or domestic partners need their own accounts to complete the assessment.)

• Do the Health Assessment under "Just for you" on the homepage/home screen or My Health Data in the menu.
• See your Assessment Status on the Peak Health dashboard.

You'll meet with a Peak Health nurse who will perform a series of assessments including:

• Body weight
• Body composition
• Blood pressure
• Cardiorespiratory fitness (a 6-minute sub-maximal bike test)
• Resting heart rate

Your results and recent lab work will be compared to the program's medical standards for your age and health risks to determine the Peak Health phase in which you'll be placed.

The nurse also will help you establish goals specific to your individual needs and information about how best to achieve them. 

Teammates will begin to receive their medical credit on the first paycheck of the month following the month of your appointment.

During each appointment, you'll be given the approximate timeframe for your next appointment (based on Peak Health phase) and lab work. About a month before, you'll get an email with the date, time, and location of your next appointment. Put it on your calendar right away.
