You can add a free SARS-CoV-2 Serology (COVID-19) antibody test as part of your health screening. Antibody testing should only be selected if you do not have SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), have not experienced COVID-like symptoms (flu, cough, shortness of breath) in the last three days, and have not been exposed to someone with SARS-CoV-2 in the last 14 days.
You have until November 30, 2022 to complete your health screening to earn 250 Castlight points toward rewards.

SARS-COV-2 SEROLOGY (COVID-19) ANTIBODY TEST
You can add a free SARS-CoV-2 Serology (COVID-19) antibody test as part of your health screening. Antibody testing should only be selected if you do not have SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), have not experienced COVID-like symptoms (flu, cough, shortness of breath) in the last three days, and have not been exposed to someone with SARS-CoV-2 in the last 14 days.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR SCREENING
Make sure you’re prepared for your health screening so you can get the best results. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Appointments are required – no walk-ins will be allowed.
- If you visit a Patient Service Center (PSC), you are required to wear a face covering. If you arrive at the PSC without a face covering, you will need to reschedule your appointment and return to the PSC at a later date with a face covering.
- Allow 15-20 minutes for your appointment.
- Your height, weight, waist measurement, blood pressure and a blood sample will be taken.
- The blood draw will be venipuncture.
- You must fast 9-12 hours prior to the screening.
- Take prescribed medications as you normally would.
- Drink plenty of water before your appointment as this helps with your blood draw, but do not have any other beverages (like black regular or decaf coffee, juice, or soda).
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR SCREENING
Quest will send an email 3-5 days after your screening when your results are in your Castlight account. Go to Benefits > Quest Diagnostics > View Results in Castlight to see the results from the biometric screening. If you added the SARS-CoV-2 Serology (COVID-19) antibody test, go to Benefits > Quest Diagnostics – COVID-19 for those results.
Note that antibody tests have not been shown to definitively diagnose or exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection. Positive results could also be due to past or present infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC43, or 229E. Diagnosis of COVID-19 is made by the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA by molecular testing methods.
ALREADY HAD A SCREENING FROM YOUR PHYSICIAN?
Great job having an annual check-up with your personal physician! If you want the 250 points for getting your health numbers, you will need to have your physician submit the Physician Results Form to Quest and have it successfully processed before November 30, 2022.
Find the form by signing in to your Castlight account and going to Benefits > Quest Diagnostics. You may simply click on “Go to Quest” and follow the prompts in the Quest website to get to your personalized Physician Results Form. The form has details for you and your physician to follow. Contact Quest Diagnostics at 855-623-9355 with questions about the Physician Results Form.
IT’S FREE AND CONFIDENTIAL
There is no cost for you or your covered spouse/domestic partner to get the health screening and SARS-CoV-2 Serology (COVID-19) antibody test. The screening is completely confidential and managed by Abbott’s wellness partners. Abbott never sees individual results.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE
All employees and covered spouses/domestic partners are eligible to complete a free health screening and SARS-CoV-2 Serology (COVID-19) antibody test. If you will be covering your spouse/domestic partner under the Abbott medical plan benefits for the first time in 2023, they can create a Castlight account after November 7 and complete a screening before November 30, 2022 or get a health screening in 2023.
NEWLY HIRED EMPLOYEES
Newly hired employees and their spouses/domestic partners are eligible to complete the health screening or SARS-CoV-2 Serology (COVID-19) antibody test. However, you may need to wait to register for 4-5 weeks from your date of hire so Castlight can receive your eligibility. You have until November 30 to complete the screening. You will have another opportunity to get a free screening in 2023.
YOUR PRIVACY IS ALWAYS PROTECTED
All of the information in your Castlight account is completely confidential. Abbott will not have access to your personal health information. One of the reasons Abbott partners with Castlight, an independent company, is to help you feel confident personal results will not be reported to Abbott.
