Medical Assistance is run by the state and is paid for by the state and the federal government.

South Country Health Alliance prides itself in promoting preventive care and staying healthy. Take Charge™ Wellness Programs are one of the ways that South Country empowers its members to be as healthy as they can be. One of these being the BeActive™ , one of the Take Charge!™ Wellness reward programs, which gives members up to a $20 monthly discount on their health club membership fees. Members enrolled in AbilityCare, SharedCare, SingleCare, MSC+ and SeniorCare Complete are eligible for this benefit as long as they are enrolled during the month they exercise. There is no limit per household, as long as each participant is eligible, enrolled during the respective month and has a paid health club membership.

Here are three steps you can take to get your discount.

  1. Join a participating health club. Find a participating health club in your community online at NIHCArewards.org or call Member Services at 866-567-7274, TTY 800-627-3529 or 711. If the local club that you exercise at is not on the list, you can nominate it for the BeActive™ program by calling Member Services for help.
  2. Sign up for the BeActiveTM program. Fill out the BeActive TM program enrollment form at your health club. The only thing you will need is your South Country member ID card. Another option is to go to NIHCHrewards.org. Choose First Time Enrollment under MEMBER options and follow the steps to get enrolled.
  3. Exercise! SingleCare, SharedCare, and MSC+ members will get up to $20 off your monthly membership fee each month with a minimum of four visits to their health club per month. SeniorCare Complete and AbilityCare members will get up to $20 off their membership fee each month with no minimum amount of visits. For each workout completed, we recommend you log your attendance at your health club.

Remember, members must be enrolled with South Country and their participating health club during the month they exercise. Members must complete the BeActiveTM program enrollment form before participating. For every month you are eligible, you will continue to receive your discount. You will see your discount 30-60 days after you have exercised.
