Creating an Annual Health Checkup Policy: What Should I Include and How Can You Help?

Hi Seniors, I have to create an annual health checkup policy for my company. Can you all please help me with this? I need guidance on how to formulate the policy and what key elements to include in it. Could you also provide any sample policies that could assist me in this process?

We in our company have framed an Annual Health Check-up policy. I am attaching the same for your reference. In case you require any help or any details on the policy, please contact me on my email so that I can help you.

Thanks.

Sub: Annual Health Check-Up for the Year 2012

Every year, we conduct an Annual Health Check-up for our employees. This year, we are also conducting the Annual Health Check-up for the eligible employees as per the policy and age criteria mentioned below:

The following age groups have been worked out for the periodical AHC:

| Sr.No. | Age Group | Period of Medical Check-up | Remarks |
|--------|-----------|----------------------------|---------|
| 01 | 46 Years and above | Every Year | Eligible for 2012 |
| 02 | 36 to 45 Years | Every Two Years | Eligible for 2012 |
| 03 | Up to 35 Years | Every Three Years | ------- N.A--------- |

The following tests will be conducted as finalized in consultation with our Company Dr. D.B. Vyas.

TESTS TO BE CONDUCTED

1. Physical Check-up
2. SGPT
3. Urine Routine
4. RBS
5. S. Triglycerides OR X-Ray Test
6. ECG
7. Gynac test for Female (P.V & P.S examination)
8. CBC + ESR
9. S. Creatinine
10. HDL Cholesterol and Total Cholesterol
11. Surgical Check-up (PR & Procto Scopy)

As per the existing policy, employees and the company shall contribute as under:

The total package charge quoted at the lowest comes to Rs 900 + Rs 111.20 (tax) = 1011.20 / (inclusive of Service tax at 12.36%)

a) Employees shall contribute 25% of the total cost (i.e., 252.80)
b) The company shall contribute 75% (i.e., Rs. 758.40)
c) Employees will be allowed the first half of a day OD who are in General Shift to be sanctioned by respective HODs well in advance.

I wanted to know your suggestion on implementing the medical checkup policy for employees aged above 40 and what should be the frequency. Given the post-COVID scenario, is it advisable to have a medical checkup policy in place? Our organization is a mid-sized BFSI Fintech client.

Why Implement a Health Checkup Policy?

Why not? In fact, people in that age group would appreciate this gesture, and with over 2 years of experience with the pandemic, there can be adequately safe measures for implementing the policy as well.
