If your Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO patients are planning a trip, encourage
them to pack their SilverSneakers membership with them. Thanks to national
reciprocity, your patients can take advantage of their membership in the
Healthways SilverSneakers? Fitness Program while they travel, so they can
maintain their regular physical activity routine while away from home.
SilverSneakers is the leading social support and fitness program in the nation
for Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO members and is designed to keep them active
and healthy no matter where they are. Once enrolled in the program at a
participating site, members have access to more than 11,000 SilverSneakers
locations nationwide. Many sites offer fitness equipment, including treadmills,
free weights, aquatic amenities, and the program?s signature group exercise
classes. The program is available at no additional cost to our Medicare
Advantage HMO and PPO members. Your eligible patients simply need to present
their health plan ID card and SilverSneakers ID card at any location they visit.
Remind your Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO patients of the health benefits
associated with maintaining their physical activity routine while on vacation,
such as managing chronic conditions, maintaining their balance, strength, and
flexibility, and keeping their overall health in check. While on vacation, your
patients will still have access to SilverSneakers and the program?s innovative
mix of physical activity, lifestyle direction, and social opportunities.
Note: SilverSneakers is offered to Keystone 65 Preferred HMO and
Personal Choice 65SM PPO members. To enroll in the program, members can simply
bring their health plan ID card to any participating SilverSneakers location.
