Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey Launches- New Fitness Reimbursement Program
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey is pleased to offer HorizonbFit to eligible members ages 18 years and older enrolled in public sector and fully insured mid-size groups. The program launches April 1, 2013 and offers reimbursements of $20 per month to members who enroll and visit a participating fitness facility at least 12 times or more a month. Members can earn up to $240 a year in rewards. The program makes it easier and more affordable for members to exercise regularly.
HorizonbFit is the only fitness reimbursement program that offers:
- All-electronic utilization tracking and reimbursement processing. Members do not have to track their visits or submit any paperwork to claim their reimbursements.
- Secure, online personal account management. Members establish an online account. Once established, members can view their attendance and reimbursements, change their primary fitness facilities and update their personal profiles and account information.
- The ability for Horizon BCBSNJ members who are currently members at a fitness facility to participate in HorizonbFit. All eligible Horizon BCBSNJ members can participate in HorizonbFit without having to cancel their existing fitness facility memberships. If a member belongs to a fitness facility that is not included in the network, the member can nominate it for inclusion pending agreement with the fitness facility.
- Access to medically integrated fitness centers. HorizonbFit includes hospital-affiliated fitness centers that offer exercise programs that can be integrated with chronic care management, rehabilitation and other physician-directed health maintenance, measurement and testing.
- Utilization review. Through its all-electronic utilization tracking, data can be analyzed by Horizon BCBSNJ to better manage member care.
- Full membership privileges, preferred rates, flexible, month-to-month membership terms and “away-from-home” access to any participating facility. (Only for Horizon BCBSNJ members who join a fitness facility when they enroll in HorizonbFit.)
