In November of each year, you will receive an email to your CCPS email address (physical letters will be sent to all employees who work in maintenance, transportation and nutrition services). The instructions will indicate:

1. Bloodwork - Make an appointment with Quest to get your bloodwork and biometrics screening completed by the March 31 deadline. The registration key will be listed in your notification.
   
   
2. Approximately 72 hours after your appointment you will receive an email indicating that your results are ready. Log back in to Quest to get your results, and print your lab results.
   
   
3. Promptly schedule an appointment with your doctor for a “Preventative Physical exam”. Take your lab results and the Pathways Qualifier Verification Form (proof of physical) with you to this appointment.
• If you have questions about what a physical is, please see question 5 – What is a physical exam?
  
  
4. A Pathways Coach will reach out to you to schedule a consultation, if necessary.
   
   
5. Submit the completed, signed Pathways Qualifier Verification Form (proof of physical) to the Pathways Coaches by the deadlines by faxing it to 239-377-0715 or by scanning and emailing it to  CCPSPathways@CHealthPartners.com.
   
   
6. Completion of your lab work and biometrics screening is NOT a physical exam.

• No. Your spouse and/or dependents will follow you on the pathway you choose. 

• Upon registering, you will create your own username and password. These credentials do not change each time you participate in the Pathways program, so please remember them.
  
  
• If you need to reset both your username and password, first click on “Forgot Your Username”, and then “Forgot Your Password”. You will be prompted to enter the registered email address. This is your CCPS email address. The registered email address would only be a personal email address if you changed it after the first time you logged in. 

• You must schedule an appointment for your labs by going to https://my.questforhealth.com in order for these screenings to be paid for by CCPS. Do NOT schedule an appointment through Quest’s main website.
  
  
• Any costs accrued for additional lab work ordered by your doctor will be your responsibility. 

• The purpose of an annual physical exam is to help your doctor determine the general status of your health and focus on disease screening and prevention.
  
  
• There are no absolutes in a routine physical because everyone is different, however, an annual physical typically includes:
• evaluation of your medical and family history, and current health conditions
• review of recent lab results and other tests
• a “head to toe” physical exam
• updating immunizations, prescriptions, list of specialists and treatments
• providing counseling on a healthy lifestyle such as smoking, diet, exercise, sleep, alcohol etc.
• making sure you are up-to-date on preventive screenings
• identifying any issues that may become medical concerns in the future
• depending on your age, condition, or medical/family history recommending additional testing such as repeat blood work, bone density, EKG, X-Rays etc.

• The physical examination will be paid by CCPS once every calendar year. The physical examination for Pathways will be paid if the exam is solely for the preventative screening activity and the appointment is coded by the doctor’s office as a preventative screening. If any other issues or conditions are discussed during this doctor’s visit, you may be subject to a co-pay and deductible.
  
  
• Mammograms are paid for by CCPS once every calendar year after the age of 40. 3D mammograms are also paid if the 2D (standard) and 3D mammograms are billed together, not as separate services.
  
  
• Colonoscopies are paid by CCPS once every 10 years after the age of 45.
