Grouper’s activity benefit encourages golfers to play the game they love.
BOSTON, — Grouper, the national leader in activity benefit administration and a United States Golf Association (USGA) Handicap Data Affiliate, strengthened its relationship with golf by introducing an activity benefit that provides eligible golfers with a $50 initial payment and an ongoing $20 payment for every three months of activity.
By administering the activity benefit on behalf of health plans, Grouper encourages healthy living through meaningful social connections. Golfers who are 65 or older and have participating Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement plans can enroll with Grouper and receive a check in the mail. This includes eligible golfers with a Handicap Index® who post scores using their Handicap ID (e.g. GHIN #) to their scoring record.
With the announcement, Grouper has created a long overdue bridge between golf and healthcare.
“As much as golfers care about their clubs and their short game, they also care about the social connection and camaraderie that golf provides,” said Doug Wenners, Chief Executive Officer of Grouper. “The activity benefit reinforces the importance of social connection and its impact on health outcomes and overall well-being.”
“Grouper’s activity benefit encourages golfers to play the game they love,” said Bill Walker, Executive Director of the International Association of Golf Administrators (IAGA). “Just as importantly, the activity benefit emphasizes the profound benefits of social connection, which can be found in abundance on our greens and fairways.”
The activity benefit provides a natural path for golfers with a Handicap Index to support the costs associated with obtaining a handicap index and playing golf.
