Save up to $1,600 on your medical plan premiums when you complete NMG’s Biometric Screenings, designed to help associates improve their health and overall quality of life. These screenings are 100% NMG-paid and include a few simple tests—including blood pressure, height, weight, and waist circumference—at one of over 1,000 Quest DiagnosticsTM Service Centers nationwide. Your results are collected by Quest Diagnostics and kept strictly confidential. NMG will not have access to your individual results.
You are eligible to receive up to an $800 premium differential (or up to $1,600 if you cover a spouse/domestic partner), pro-rated based on your date of hire. Here’s how it works:
- Earn $200 just for completing a Biometric Screening by May 5.
- Earn an additional $600 if you passed the waist circumference* and cotinine screenings. If you did not pass either or both screenings, you must enroll in the Marquee Health Coaching program by June 14 and complete four required coaching sessions by July 31 to receive the full premium differential.
*If you (or your covered spouse/domestic partner) are pregnant and do not pass the waist circumference screening, you can have your physician fill out and fax the Quest Diagnostics Physician Affidavit Form to earn the full premium differential. You will not need to complete the Health Coaching program.
Note: If you completed a Biometric Screening by May 5 and qualified for the full premium differential, you will see the credit when you enroll on NMGbenefits.com. The premium differential will be applied on your first paycheck following August 1. If you (or your covered spouse/domestic partner) completed a screening but did not qualify for the full premium differential, review the Health Coaching page for more information.
New Hire Eligibility
If you take your Biometric Screening within 30 days of your hire date, regardless of your results you will qualify for the full medical plan premium differential for your entire family. Your spouse/domestic partner will be invited to take the screening the following year. If you choose not to complete the Biometric Screening, you will not qualify for the premium differential.

Once you are at a Quest Diagnostics Service Center, here’s how it works:
- You will undergo a simple blood draw along with a measurement of blood pressure, height, weight, and waist circumference. It’s required that you fast 9 to 12 hours prior to your screening. If you don’t fast, you may be asked to reschedule your screening.
- Your blood sample will be sent to a Quest Diagnostics laboratory for testing.
- Quest Diagnostics will no longer be mailing your personal report. When your screening results are ready, you will receive an email that you can view, download, and print your personal report from their website.
- Take your personal report to your doctor on your next visit.
