    Join our mailing list to get updates as we expand in the future!

  • We are typically approved for HSA in Ontario, but the determination is specific to your plan.
    Please contact your plan provider to confirm coverage.

    We’re happy to send you a "pre-determination of benefits" that you can share with your provider to determine coverage. Please email us at hello@mybenchmarkhealth.com to request.

    Similarly, please email us if you'd like an invoice after payment to submit for HSA reimbursement.

  • We recommend dedicating an average of about 2-3 hours per week to participate in your Benchmark assessments and to review the materials we share.

    This is a commitment; the more attention you can give it, the more benefit you will get! There is enough curated content to keep eager members even busier!

  • Currently, the Benchmark Proactive Health Assessment is intended to be repeated annually or at most about every six months. This will allow you to track changes over time, and create accountability to reassess these metrics, while allowing enough time to see meaningful changes.

    We welcome your feedback on specific assessments you’re interested in doing more frequently.

  • No, you don’t need to buy anything.

    Blood Pressure

    We’ll provide a Blood Pressure monitor, which we’ll ask you to return it when you come in for your Results Review, if you choose to do that in-person. Otherwise, we’ll provide a shipping label to return it by mail. If you would like to purchase it, just let us know.

    Continuous Glucose Montior (CGM)

    We’ll give you a CGM for your one-time use.

    Wearable

    We currently use the WHOOP because it provides great data and insights and can be worn 24/7.

    You can sign up for a 30-day trial WHOOP at no cost (we will reimburse you for the $14 shipping fee you're charged). At the end of the trial, you’ll return your device & battery to WHOOP by mail to avoid any charges. If you choose to, you can alternatively keep the device and have WHOOP charge you for a 12-month membership.

    If you already have a WHOOP, you can use that. We’ll ask you about this when you register.

    We hope to support additional wearables in the future, so stay tuned for updates.

Your health in focus.
