UnitedHealthcare Helps Make it Easier for People to Stay Fit and Save Money with Gym Check-In

UnitedHealthcare’s gym reimbursement program, Gym Check-In, has expanded
to include more than 124,000 facilities across the United States,
potentially saving consumers hundreds of dollars a year on their gym
fees.

Gym Check-In enables participating employers to provide employees and
their spouses the opportunity to each earn typically between $20 and $50
every month for visiting a fitness facility 12 days or more per month.

Gym Check-In is available as a standalone offering to large self-funded
employers nationwide, and to small and mid-size employers as part of
UnitedHealthcare’s SimplyEngaged, a wellness program that offers
incentives for completing health and wellness activities, and is
available to employers in most states.

Qualifying for the financial incentive is designed to be simple:
Eligible plan participants use their smartphones to access Gym Check-In
on the Rally® mobile app, offered by UnitedHealthcare, to track their
visits to nearby, approved gyms – from large, traditional gyms to
smaller, specialty gyms. Monthly reimbursements are automatically
deposited into the employee’s bank account or distributed in the form of
merchant gift cards or reductions in their health-plan premiums, as
applicable.

“People are looking to save money and are interested in more choices
when it comes to their health, so we created Gym Check-In to give them a
better consumer experience,” said Rebecca Madsen, UnitedHealthcare chief
consumer officer. “Gym Check-In rewards people for working out and being
more personally engaged in improving their health.”

A recent UnitedHealthcare report
suggests that companies that strengthen their wellness programs may
yield cost-savings and improve employee health over the long-term.

Employers interested in offering Gym Check-In to their employees can
contact their local UnitedHealthcare salesperson or go to www.uhc.com.
UnitedHealthcare plan participants can check their benefit plan to see
if their employer offers this program.
