Grouper provides free membership to eligible USBC members 65+
November 07, 2023
ARLINGTON, Texas – Element3 Health is now Grouper, maintaining its mission to connect you with social fitness and unlock wellness benefits through your health plan. Grouper is collaborating with the United States Bowling Congress to provide free membership to eligible USBC members for doing what they already love to do – bowl.
Through the program, Grouper will cover the dues of USBC members 65 and older who belong to an eligible Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement plan. USBC league members simply need to sign up for the program to check their eligibility and have their league participation verified by visiting www.hellogrouper.com/usbc. If their plan covers the benefit and they are active USBC members, Grouper will send the qualifying member payment for their bowling membership dues.
The program is offered at no cost to members or to USBC.
“Staying healthy means more than going to the gym. Health plans are starting to recognize the benefit of meaningful social interactions, like the type people experience on a bowling team. We work with plans to encourage those interactions, because ultimately, those are the activities that keep people socially connected, happier and healthier,” said Grouper CEO Doug Wenners.
Grouper works with many U.S. Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans to cover organizations and clubs that promote social and wellness activities. In addition to covering the dues of existing USBC members, Grouper is eager to introduce the USBC to their members nationwide.
“We view this as a win-win,” said USBC Executive Director Chad Murphy. “Bowling is not only a competitive sport, but is also a social, fun and engaging activity for many people. This partnership with Grouper will give some bowlers 65+ an additional benefit just for being a USBC league member.”
If you have questions or need assistance with the sign-up process, the friendly Member Engagement Team at Grouper is available to help. Contact them at (833) 203-1417 or via email at usbc@hellogrouper.com. You can also check out the FAQ page on the Grouper site to see some commonly asked questions.
