Fit Choices (Medica)

Get Paid to Exercise

UPlan Medical Program members have an added incentive to head to a fitness center. When you enroll in Fit Choices^SM and exercise eight times per month, up to $20 per month of your membership dues can be returned to you.

New in 2012: In addition to earning a $20-monthly credit against your membership dues, you can also accumulate 50 points for your Wellness Points Bank. The 50 points are awarded when you have been reimbursed five times. In other words, the participant will be required to earn five monthly credits of up to $20 per month between January 1 and July 31, 2012.

How Does Fit Choices Work?

When you visit a participating fitness center eight times a month, the fitness center tracks your visits and sends a verification to Medica, the provider of Fit Choices. Your reward is reflected as a $20 credit against your monthly dues, or it is deposited directly into your checking or savings account (depending upon how your fitness center administers the payment). A maximum of two adult UPlan Medical Program members per household can be reimbursed through Fit Choices. Your reward generally takes approximately 60 days to process.

Enrollment in Fit Choices

The list of fitness centers in the Wellness Program’s network of participating facilities can be found on the Medica website. When your preferred fitness center is included in the Medica network, you sign up for Fit Choices at the place where you workout.

Important: In 2012 you are required to re-enroll at your fitness center. You must re-enroll if:

•  you are currently enrolled in Medica Elect/Essential health plan
•  you chose a new Medica plan during Open Enrollment in November
• you were previously enrolled in the Frequent Fitness program from HealthPartners
