Gym membership paid by insurance

Posted by chrissy sherman on February 21, 2024 at 2:43 pm

Has anyone been successful in getting their medical insurance to pay for a gym membership for a person with Parkinson’s? If so, how were you able to get this covered?

My insurance has a program called “Silver Sneakers” that offers free gym memberships at participating facilities. Unfortunately for me the closest participating gym to me is over 20 miles away.

All Medicare Supplemental Plans by UnitedHealthcare include a “Renew Active” free gym membership program.

  The gyms on the network are quite extensive in NJ.

I get a discount because I have Blue Cross Blue Shield, but it is still $28 a month. My dad is free because he is over 65. It is called “silver sneakers”.
