As a member of Medicare &
More or ActivelyYou, our new
Medicare HMO plan available
in South Florida, you are eligible
for the SilverSneakers®
Fitness Program, the nation’s
leading exercise program
designed exclusively for older
adults. SilverSneakers is available
to you at no additional
cost beyond your current
insurance premium. The
membership can be used
at any of the approximately
40 participating SilverSneakers
fitness centers throughout
Broward, Dade and Palm
Beach counties. In addition,
your SilverSneakers membership
travels with you, as you
are welcome to use any
participating SilverSneakers
fitness center across the nation.
Maxine Shea, 76, of Palm
Springs, Fla., attends
SilverSneakers classes twice
a week at her local YMCA.
Mrs. Shea, who has osteoarthritis,
is more comfortable
doing exercises while sitting
in a chair. “With osteoarthritis,
you’re supposed to keep
moving,” says the retired
office manager originally
from Baltimore. “Thanks to
SilverSneakers, I’m a little
more steady on my feet, and
it’s given me more strength
in my arms and legs. We just
love it.”
The specially designed classes
are just one of the many
benefits of the SilverSneakers
Fitness Program. Classes are
appropriate for all fitness
levels. If you already belong
to a participating center, your
regular paying membership
will be frozen, so it won’t cost
you another dime to exercise
there as long as you remain
a Medicare & More or
ActivelyYou member and
the fitness center remains a
SilverSneakers partner. You
also can take advantage of
fitness promotions, social
events and health education
seminars. Of course, always
check with your doctor before
beginning any exercise
program.

Saving money when you’re
on a fixed income is important.
You can stretch your
prescription drug benefits
and reduce your out-of-pocket
costs by choosing generic
drugs whenever possible.
All covered generic drugs cost
you only a $15 copayment per
prescription. And there is no
cap on generic drug coverage.
Approved by the Food and
Drug Administration, generics
are just as safe and effective
as their branded counterparts.
Talk to your physician about
this; most brand-name
medications have generic
alternatives.

We continue to expand access
to urgent care centers for
non-emergency care when
your doctor’s office is closed.
These centers cost you less
than hospital emergency
rooms and often are more
convenient and less timeconsuming.
To locate the
contracting urgent care
center nearest you, visit our
website, www.bcbsfl.com, or
call the customer service
number on your member
ID card.
