Dear CLAIMANT NAME:<br />

We need the following information to make a decision on your request for payment <strong>of</strong> membership in a<br />

health club or spa.<br />

1. Describe local public and commercial facilities which will allow you to fulfill the program described by<br />

your doctor, and the cost <strong>of</strong> each, using the form on the reverse <strong>of</strong> this letter.<br />

2. Ask your doctor to describe the recommended exercise program, the equipment needed, and safety<br />

considerations, using the enclosed form. After the doctor completes the report, give a copy <strong>of</strong> it to the<br />

health club/spa manager so he or she is fully aware <strong>of</strong> the requirements <strong>of</strong> our program.<br />

3. Submit a signed statement from the health club/spa manager indicating the extent to which the club is<br />

equipped and staffed to provide the program described the doctor, and a detailed breakdown <strong>of</strong> fees and<br />

charges for various membership and equipment usage options and terms. The manager's statement<br />

should describe any special fees or charges not included in the membership fee, and any discounts<br />

available.<br />

In evaluating the proposed program, we will consider such factors as equipment and supervision<br />

requirements, as well as cost and effectiveness <strong>of</strong> this mode versus other alternatives, including exercise<br />

at home or in public facilities.<br />

OWCP policy limits payment for membership in commercial health clubs to no more than one year. At the<br />

end <strong>of</strong> that period, we can authorize an additional membership term if your doctor believes that the<br />

exercise program has been carefully followed and has been effective in achieving treatment goals.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

CLAIMS EXAMINER<br />
