Rec center to accept FitOnHealth membership reimbursements for eligible participants
Summary
The finance committee approved a contract with PerFit, Inc., doing business as FitOnHealth, to enroll eligible participants in a membership reimbursement program similar to SilverSneakers; the rec center will receive $56.70 per month per participant who attends four visits, prorated for fewer visits.
The finance committee approved a contract between the Medina Recreation Center and PerFit, Inc., doing business as FitOnHealth, to provide membership and class access for eligible participants under a reimbursement model. Jackson (rec center) said the program functions similarly to programs such as SilverSneakers and Renew Active: the rec center will receive $56.70 per participant per month if an enrolled participant visits the facility four times in a month; the payment is prorated if the participant visits fewer times.
Jackson said the rec center was approached after a member received FitOnHealth coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield and that negotiating the contract took time; the rec center currently has about 2,500 members who use similar insurer‑based programs. The committee approved the contract by voice vote.
Why it matters: The contract could increase membership revenue and expand access for insured participants who qualify for FitOnHealth benefits. Payments are contingent on participant attendance and insurer program eligibility.
