Does Medicare Pay For Gym Memberships? [Video]

Gym memberships can be a great way for seniors to stay active and healthy, but does Medicare provide coverage for this expense?

Unfortunately, Original Medicare doesn’t cover gym memberships or fitness programs, as they’re not considered medically necessary.

However, some Medicare Advantage plans, which are offered by private insurance companies, may include gym memberships or fitness programs.

When considering a Medicare Advantage plan, it’s essential to review the specific benefits and costs, as they can vary significantly between different plans and providers.

It’s advised to speak with a licensed agent, so you can find the right plan for your specific needs.

Alternatively, you can look for senior discounts at local gyms, participate in community center programs, or explore at-home fitness options.
