Place for Free bmi and blood pressure check

Hi

I need to provide my bmi, waist size and blood pressure to incentive program go get discount on insurance.

What I need is nothing fancy as biometric screening, as long as I have evidence I measured those officially ( not at home by myself) it is acceptable.

However, it took me more than a month to figure out how to make clinic appointment in the US. And clinic sent me back because they can only provide me biometric screening with all lab tests and charge me more than the discount I need. It is extremely difficult for me to find a provider that can measure only bmi and blood pressure. And insurance and clinic says ask each other what would be final out of pocket cost for that simple screening, so I have been bouncing back and forth between them to figure out the final cost of measuring simple things. Still I dont have answer yet. I am very exhausted for this medial system of US…

In the US, no place to measure bmi and blood pressure for free? Common sence, it is very simple thing that does not require any advanced tool or skill. Can I get only the screening that I need or does American pay few hundreds for bmi with forced unnecessary blood tests???Why is it so hard and where can I go?

Please give me some help what I can do. I am thinking using blood pressure machine in publix. Thats all I can think of now.

I have bcbs anthem value insurance via employer, live in florida.
