* Certain exclusions and requirements apply. Monthly premium for the rider is paid by the employer or health plan sponsor, and the Active&Fit member fee is paid by the eligible participant. In the event of termination of the group's Active&Fit Program rider or the participant's HMAA medical plan eligibility, the participant will no longer receive the rider benefits after such termination date. Reinstating an Active&Fit membership thereafter requires payment of another annual fee of $100 (or $10 for Home Fitness). The employer shall be responsible for all coverage notifications to eligible participants.
