Aetna launched the Aetna Fitness Reimbursement Program that allows Aetna members to get money back for engaging in a range of activities that can help them lead healthier lives, including:

|
  • Gym membership fees and group exercise classes;
  • Personal training;
  • Fitness equipment purchases;
  • Weight management and nutrition counseling services.

The program will begin Jan. 1 and is currently being offered to Aetna's employer customers in National Accounts, Middle Markets and Public & Labor. Members will only be eligible for the program if their employer chooses to implement the Aetna Fitness Reimbursement Program.

|

Employers also have some flexibility to customize parts of the program to fit their overall wellness strategy. For example, employers can select:

|
  • The annual reimbursement amount for their employees;
  • To make their employees' spouses and dependents (age 16 and older) eligible for the program; and
  • To offer the program to employees who may not be enrolled in an Aetna benefits plan.

Administrative tasks associated with reimbursing participants will be handled by GlobalFit, a provider of physical activity programs for businesses around the world and which jointly designed the program with Aetna.
