Anthem $50 Fitness Allowance (Diagnosis Required)

What this benefit is

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Nevada Medicaid offers an allowance of up to $50 toward a gym or fitness membership. Anthem calls it an allowance, not a gift card, and it is paid as a benefit toward membership rather than as cash.

Who qualifies

Two conditions have to be met together:

  • You are 18 or older, and
  • you have a primary or secondary clinical diagnosis of obesity, or of diabetes or prediabetes, documented by your provider.

Age alone does not qualify you. The diagnosis is the qualifying condition, and this is where most members are turned down after assuming the benefit is open to all adults.

How to ask for it

Talk with your provider about whether a qualifying diagnosis is in your record, then call Anthem member services and ask about the fitness allowance for your specific plan. Amounts and rules can differ by plan and by year.

Check this with your plan directly

You do not have to take our word for it. Call your health plan's member services and ask them to confirm the benefit, the amount, and whether you qualify:
