Fitbit premium migration?

[leshil2031]

I have fitbit premium, covered by my health insurance.  Will this continue?

I had that exact question after my friend’s husband sent me link to article https://www.wired.com/story/google-is-rebranding-the-fitbit-app-to-google-health/ this morning.

this was the first I’d heard about the rebranding.

i had a chat online with insurance company and she said nothing has been finalized yet and that I should check closer to the rebranding date. Keeping my fingers crossed that they continue to pay for premium. If they don’t I may look into changing my plan if I can pass underwriting!

@Js2222   Google just announced this yesterday, so it's new to all of us.

true, but I expected that  Google should know whether or not they will extend their offer for free premium thru the various insurances that currently provide free Fitbit premium.

I was chatting with the AI Coach on Fitbit and asked if the rollout was going to be gradual or if everyone would get it at once. I was told that since I am on the public preview, I would be closer to the top of the list! Usually in a rollout I am among the last to get it, so that made me happy!

@Js2222   A perk like this originates from and is paid for by the insurance company.  I honestly don't think that Google keeps track of insurance company perks.

@leshil2031   This is a rebranding from Fitbit Premium to Google Heath Premium.  I absolutely agree with the advice to chat with your insurance company.  Your insurance might think it is a new, different product.
