Reimbursement of health club memberships


The Payroll Office has received several calls regarding the possibility of a reimbursement for health club memberships from Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

UND benefitted 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 NDPERS 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. -- Payroll.
