Discontinuation of the BCBSMN Fitness Discount Program (FDP)

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota (BCBSMN) has decided to end the $20 Fitness Discount program for all groups and all BCBSMN members nationwide as of 12/31/19.  This means your BCBSMN members will no longer receive a $20 monthly reimbursement starting January 2020.  You will have the opportunity to check your reports and do any resubmitting for 2019 workouts through June of 2020.  BCBSMN members are encouraged to keep their gym memberships to meet their daily step goals.  If your members have question(s), please have them reach out to BCBSMN Customer Service  directly.

Important to Remember: 
It's important to remember that as of January 1, 2019, the BCBSND program went to a 9-month program.  Meaning Jan-Sept '19 are the only nine months your BCBSND members will be rewarded.  There is no need to submit any BCBSND workouts for the months of Oct, Nov and Dec.
BCBSND members must have redeemed their points BY October 31st or they are  now forfeited.  Please have inquiring BCBSND members call Customer Service on the back of their cards if they have specific questions.

 Chapter Two:  "Australian Bikini Team"
One day while observing our video cameras in the pool area, I noticed a young lady and her boyfriend in our hot tub.  They went from sitting across from each other (large tub) to sitting on each other's laps.  The gal then decided that it was a good idea to take her swim suit top off and enjoy the facility topless.  I asked our Aquatic Recreation Coordinator to go in and take care of the matter.  By the time she got to the spa, the lady had put her top on her boyfriend (I guess she thought it looked better on him! )
The Coordinator told her that she could not do that here and must put her top on or leave.  The gal stated that she was from another country and that it was allowed there. " Well, it isn't here," the Coordinator stated!  She put her top on and they both left the pool area - but not before stopping to make out in the vending room area in the lobby.
