INVESTING IN YOUR HEALTH
Insurance Programs and The Y: Saving You Money
The Y is proud to work with several insurance programs that offer discounts, reimbursements or even free memberships to their subscribers to support you on your journey to become healthier. Each program that is offered is different, and who is covered may vary. It is highly recommended that you contact the number on your insurance card to see what specific benefits your insurance program offers.
If your program is listed, please come into the Y and bring your insurance card with you. Our staff will help you get the forms filled out and walk you through the process of getting set up in your program.
