Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an Annual Health Assessment (AHA)?
Annual Health Assessments are required annually by NYS Department of Health for all health care personal. Assessments are for the purpose of determining that you are free from health impairments which could pose a risk to you, patients or co-workers and should be completed during the employee’s month of birth.
The first annual health assessment is completed at the time of onboarding and is called a "pre-employment physical." After that, it is recommended that annual assessments are to be completed during the employee’s month of birth (EHO loves to celebrate birthdays!). No more than 12 months should elapse between annual health assessments.
What is included in my Annual Health Assessment (AHA)?
The AHA is review of your health status and the following will be reviewed and completed during your visit:
- Questionnaire related to TB screening
- Height, weight, blood pressure and temperature will be taken
- A review of your immunization history
- Vaccines and/or blood work will be offered, given or completed
- If you have direct patient contact you will need to complete a Respirator Questionnaire and N95 Fit Test will be completed
- Information on the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) will be provided
- Information on what to do if you were injured at work (Workers Compensation PPO Program)
- We can assist with a referral to a Primary Care Provider if you are in need of a PCP
Who requires a N95 Respirator FIT testing?
Per OSHA, FIT testing is to be completed annually for ALL health care workers providing direct patient care. This will be done during your Annual Health Assessment (month of birth). If an employee has a job change and now requires a N95 FIT test, please contact or use the Schedule an Appointment link for either Binghamton or Wilson Employee Health Office to schedule your FIT test.

What if I just saw my Primary Care Provider for an assessment?
Annual Health Assessments with your provider are different than your EHO Annual Health Assessment. EHO Annual Health Assessments are a NYS Department of Health requirement for ALL healthcare workers. EHO AHA’s are not billed to your insurance and information entered into your Employee Health chart, including vaccinations are not shared in EPIC.
What do I do if I have been out of work for 5 consecutive days and now ready to return?
After 5 consecutive days of bring out due to illness or injury, before returning to work employees MUST report to an Employee Health Office on the day you are scheduled to work prior to your shift. Employees will need to have a return to work note from a provider with specific instructions for restrictions or limitations (if any). The EHO nurse will perform a return to work assessment and/or complete an AHA if one is due at that time. If restrictions or limitations are noted the EHO nurse will contact the employees Manager/Supervisor to review and confirm they are able to accommodate the return to work restrictions/limitations. Maternity/Paternity leave does not require a return to work note.
Return to work Drug Testing is no longer required at UHS.
