The fitness tracker benefit isn’t available in all plans. Please check your Evidence of Coverage to see if the benefit is included in your plan.

Staying active is very important to your health, how you feel and your independence as you get older.

When you wear the Fitbit fitness tracker, it automatically keeps track of all your activity. The tracker can:

• Count the number of calories burned, steps taken, floors climbed and miles walked
• Determine the number of hours you slept
• How much time you’ve spent being active

When you walk the dog, go to the drugstore, play tennis, take a nap or even walk to the bathroom and back, Fitbit is keeping track and adding up all that activity. The Fitbit app keeps track of your daily progress, which you can use to stay motivated. The app can also help you set goals for losing weight and log what you eat and how much water you drink each day.

It just takes a few simple steps to get started:

1. Visit Fitbit’s website.
2. When prompted, enter your SCAN member ID located on your SCAN member ID card

If you’re using a smartphone, before getting started, make sure your tracker and mobile phone are charged and that the Bluetooth setting on your phone is turned on. Then:

1. Download the Fitbit mobile app from the Apple App Store, Google Play or the Windows Store. Then login or create an account using an email address and password of your choice.
2. Once you've logged in to the Fitbit app, tap on the Account Then select + Set Up a Device.
3. Select your device and follow the in-app prompts to complete the setup process.

Tip: If possible, use a Wi-Fi connection to help speed up device setup.

If you’re using your computer, you can set up and sync most Fitbit devices with Fitbit Connect. Fitbit Connect is a free software application that lets your Fitbit device sync its data with your fitbit.com dashboard. This requires a computer that is Bluetooth-enabled.

To install Fitbit Connect and set up your device:

1. Click here, then scroll down and click the pink Download button.
2. After the download completes, double click the downloaded file to start installation.
3. After installing, when prompted, choose Set Up a New Fitbit Device.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to login as an existing user or create a Fitbit account and connect your device.

No. If you don’t have a smartphone, you can still enjoy the tracking features of a Fitbit. If you want to keep track of your activity without a smartphone, you’ll need to have access to a computer.

For members with this benefit, there is no cost for the Fitbit activity tracker or the Fitbit app and there is no subscription needed.

Your Fitbit will need to be recharged approximately every five days, but an electric charger cord is included. There are no batteries to buy or change (depends on battery life and other factors).

Unfortunately, no. SCAN can provide a new Fitbit activity tracker if you are eligible for one, but you cannot be reimbursed for one you previously purchased.

Not at this time. SCAN covers specific Fitbit models based on your plan.
