$300 a year. It's not uncommon for health care plans to require this for a discount. My last employer started 2 years ago. Health care plans have learned it is cheaper for them to prevent than to treat.

What is the issue even if the company found out about your labs? Do you think it will give them reason to fire you because of hyperlipidemia? Or is it that they would insert a transmitter with the blood draw to alter your thoughts about Indigo?

I'm going to get it done, cause it's free and it will save money. If you feel better paying for a lipid profile out of pocket... that's your choice. Insurance costs go up every year at higher rate than inflation and considering the fact that they are lowering our deductibles and increasing dental coverage, our premiums are going to be worse.
