Julie - there are grea****er aerobic classes just down the road from you.

The North Arundel Aquatic center offers these classes several times a day. Without spending bunches of money, you can get a 15 time pass for $70.00.

Here's the link for the fitness classes:

I live in MD and my insurance is Blue Cross Blue Shield-Blue Choice. Do they cover WLS?

Hi Dominque,
I have Blue Choice and I am covered. I am going through GBMC COMP program. I really like it there.

It depends on your employer actually.....most insurances cover WLS but it is up to your employer whether or not they will include it in their contract.

I had Blue Choice with my former employer but they had a restriction to WLS coverage in their contract stating it will not be covered unless they have over 50 (full time) employees on staff. Which they do not, meaning no one there would ever be covered for it.

You would have to contact Blue Choice and ask what is covered under YOUR policy for WLS.

It really is by the individual, not the insurance company as a whole.

Mark, I had the same issue. I was told when I called Carefirst it was covered. I went though everything to only have them tell the people at GBMC that it was not covered. I called Carefirst and they said when the plan renewed our employer did not include it. I went to my Human Resource person and she followed up with CArefirst. Luckily it was a mistake on their end and they fixed it. I am starting my journey with GBMC COMP program and so far I am pretty happy.

Topic: Downtown Baltimore - Work out Partner

Hello there! Anyone belong to Brick Bodies and interested in working out downtown? They have an aquatic class on Monday and Wednesday evening that I enjoy. I really need some support to get the nerve to walk the treadmill or try the Zumba class at this size.

I work 5 mins away and live about 20 Mins away.

Email me at [email protected] if you are interested.
