The EI Group Announces Wellness Partnership with North Carolina Medical Society

The North Carolina Medical Society Employee Benefit Plan (NCMS Plan) is excited to announce its new partner to conduct biometric screening for participating practices. As part of the Practice Wellness initiative, the NCMS Plan and the EI Group, Inc. (EI) will be working together to encourage medical practices to participate and adopt an effective and sustainable wellness culture with biometric screenings as a key component. EI will support the NCMS Plan’s Practice Wellness initiative by providing onsite biometric data collection from participants at a competitive and preferred rate. 

This includes the following:

- Cholestech® finger stick technology in conjunction with CLIA protocols for blood cholesterol and glucose levels

- Blood Pressure

- Height and Weight for calculation of body mass index (BMI)

- Body Composition

- A summary of results to the participant along with brief wellness coaching session

- Data integration with the NCMS Plan’s Health Assessment

- Aggregate reporting after each screening event to the practice

“The NCMS Plan works with medical practices closely to engage employees in programs that can improve their health and reduce the overall cost of care,” says Robert Seligson, Executive Vice President, CEO, North Carolina Medical Society. “I encourage practices to offer on-site biometric screenings that reveal health risks to an employee in a supportive way. Then the conversation can begin about how to address those specific risks.”

The NCMS Plan and the EI team look forward to working with your practice. Please contact Jason Horay at Jason.Horay@mmicnc.com or 919-878-7530 if you are interested in learning more about the Practice Wellness program or if you have questions about conducting a biometric screening event.
