Members of all three employee health plans—the MIT Traditional Health Plan, MIT Choice Plan, and MIT High Deductible Health Plan—are eligible for two Blue Cross wellness benefits:
Fitness reimbursement
You may receive an annual $150 reimbursement per family for qualified health club membership fees. Membership at most health clubs that have a variety of cardiovascular and strength training exercise equipment qualifies you for this benefit. Get the details and download the fitness reimbursement form.
Weight-loss reimbursement
You are eligible, up to $150 per family, for reimbursement of expenses related to participation in qualified weight-loss programs. Qualified programs consist of Weight Watchers meetings, Weight Watchers at Work, and hospital-based weight-loss programs. Get the details and download the weight-loss reimbursement form.
Community Wellness Classes
Beginning in 2019, certain Community Wellness classes may be eligible for the fitness reimbursement or the weight-loss reimbursement available to members of employee-offered MIT health plans. To find out if a particular class qualifies, call the phone number on the back of your Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance card. No classes prior to January 1, 2019 will be eligible.
