In an effort to accommodate everyone’s
schedules, we will be holding some Fall wellness
screenings for those individuals who have not yet
participated in a health screening during 2004. These
screenings will be your last opportunity to participate
for this calendar year and earn your 5% discount on your
health premiums during 2005. For those employees who
are newly hired and as a reminder to our “old”
employees, we’ve listed the details below:
Manatts is dependent upon their employees for the
success of the company. They wish to show their
appreciation for that success by extending a
comprehensive Wellness Program to all employees. Health
care costs, productivity, absenteeism, and work-comp
claims are all affected by the wellness of employees.
Simply stated, if we are healthier and more productive
we will all share in the success.
We
will be offering the Wellness Program administered by
Molloy Wellness Company.
Please keep in mind this wellness screening is not a
replacement for a physical exam.
All members of the Manatt’s Health Plan are able to
obtain one physical exam annually. We encourage you to
take advantage of this benefit. The health screening
offers some basic testing and is designed to help you
learn how to be more health conscious with some gentle
reminders from the screeners. Feel free to take any
test results you may obtain from wellness to your
personal physician for evaluation during your annual
physical. Please note the changes made in the incentive
program and the fee schedule.
Medical procedures available in
conjunction with the Wellness Program for 2004:
Health Screening
– Includes health risk appraisal, blood pressure, heart
rate, lower back flexibility, height, weight, body
composition analysis, blood profile (glucose,
triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, HDL/Cholesterol

results the same day. You will have the opportunity to
participate in the follow-up program to help you with
any areas of concern or if you would like additional
help with some aspect of your health. Throughout the
year, you will receive educational materials that
address a variety of health topics.

Mammogram
– A mammogram is recommended for women 40 years or
older, and those younger with a history of breast cancer
in their immediate family. A baseline is recommended at
the age of 35 by physicians. Over the age of 40, a
mammogram is recommended annually. You may go through
your own family physician prior to your wellness date or
30 days after the date in which the Health Screening is
held at your site. If you are insured under the Manatt
Group Health Plan, Manatts will pay for the cost of this
test.
Please instruct the hospital to bill Manatts at PO Box
535, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
If you are not insured under the Manatt Group Health
Plan, you will be responsible for any costs associated
with the mammogram.
Prostate Exam
- If you are going to take advantage of this exam,
instruct the Molloy Wellness person drawing blood. They
will do a PSA blood test the day of the screening. You
will need to schedule an appointment with your family
physician for the exam. The exam will need to be done
either prior to or 30 days after the date in which the
Health Screening is held at your site. If you are
insured under the Manatt Group Health Plan, Manatts will
pay for the cost of this test and exam.
Please inform your doctor doing the exam to bill Manatts
at PO Box 535, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
If you are not insured under the Manatt Group Health
Plan, there will be an additional charge for the blood
draw done by Molloy Wellness Company. This fee will be
due at the time of service.
