What health check does

Discovery’s annual Health Check measures your key health indicators — blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, your weight assessment (weight, height and waist circumference) and smoking status — and rewards you for healthy results. Taken by an accredited practitioner in a booked twenty-minute slot and talked through with you properly. You can also do the optional HIV test for additional Vitality points.

Five measures that tell you where you actually stand.

  • —Blood pressure, taken properly and explained
  • —Blood glucose and cholesterol by finger prick
  • —Weight, height and waist circumference
  • —Smoking status
  • —Optional HIV test for additional Vitality points
  • —Covered once a year by the Health benefit on your medical aid
The science

These measures are the standard screening set because together they catch the things that develop quietly — raised blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and blood glucose carry no symptoms until they are advanced. A twenty-minute screen is the cheapest early warning available.

Who health check is for

01

Anyone with a Health benefit

Most plans fund one Health Check a year. If yours is available, tick the box when you book and the appointment is free.

02

People who keep putting it off

Twenty minutes, booked, at a set time. Nothing about it resembles sitting in a pharmacy queue hoping someone is free.

03

Training hard and want a baseline

Blood pressure and lipids matter as much as your body composition. Pair it with an InBody scan for the full picture.

Session timeline

01
Book a slot
Pick one of the Wellness Day dates and a twenty-minute time. Bring your medical aid membership number and your ID.
02
Prep
No fasting needed. The finger-prick tests are read as random measures, so eat normally beforehand.
03
The screen
Blood pressure, two finger pricks, height, weight and waist, and your smoking status. The HIV test is optional — ask on the day if you want it.
04
The conversation
The rest of the slot is your practitioner explaining each number, what is in range, and what to do about anything that is not.
05
Afterwards
You leave with your results. Book again next benefit year, or sooner if something needs watching.
