Medical Screening
Screening Program
Wellness Rediscovery will carry out nurse led wellness screenings as per Minerva requirements. Wellness Rediscovery will avail static wellness screening sites as well as mobile teams to access Minerva clients at their workplace. The costs outlined below are inclusive of health education given to members/clients by our highly trained nurses during screening and the subsequent member reports generated for the members. The screening program is the gateway for at risk members into the various intervention programs at Wellness Rediscovery. Of note is that Wellness Rediscovery will input all health risk data into its unique health risk management system for analysis and onward data transmission to MINERVA. This platform will enable tracking of members at risk to the fund and ascertaining their progress over time
