November 07, 2023
ARLINGTON, Texas – Social fitness innovator Element3 Health 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, Element3 Health 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 clicking here. If their plan covers the benefit and they are active USBC members, Element3 Health 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. Element3 Health works with plans to encourage those interactions, because ultimately, those are the activities that keep people socially connected, happier and healthier,” said Element3 Health CEO Doug Wenners.
Element3 Health 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, Element3 Health 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 Element3 Health will give some bowlers 65+ an additional benefit just for being a USBC league member."
