Note health club membership reimbursements


The Payroll Office has received several calls regarding a notice about reimbursement of health club memberships that was sent to people insured directly by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of North Dakota.

UND benefited employees are insured by an NDPERS Health Insurance plan, which is only administered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Therefore, the NDPERS plan is different than a Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan. At this time, the NDPERS plan does not offer a reimbursement of a portion of your health club membership dues. Our health insurance plan is up for renewal in the summer of 2009, so no changes are possible until that time.

Employees interested in this option should contact the PERS office in Bismarck to voice their interest. Employees can call 1-800-803-7377 and ask for Kathy Allen or e-mail kallen@nd.gov.
