Frequently Asked Questions about the Fitness Tracker (Fitbit).

Q: How can Fitbit help me be healthy?

Staying active is very important to your health, how you feel and your independence as you get older.

When you wear the Fitbit device, it automatically keeps track of all your activity. The device can:

  • Count the number of calories burned, steps taken, floors climbed and miles walked
  • Determine the number of hours you slept
  • Determine how much time you’ve spent being active

When you walk the dog, go to the drugstore, play tennis, take a nap or even walk to the bathroom and back, Fitbit is keeping track and adding up all that activity. The Fitbit app keeps track of your daily progress, which you can use to stay motivated. The app can also help you set goals for losing weight and log what you eat and how much water you drink each day.

Q: How do I order the Fitbit device?

It just takes a few simple steps to get started:

  1. Use the SCAN Fitbit order form.
  2. When prompted, enter your SCAN member ID located on your SCAN member ID card.

Q: How do I set up the Fitbit device?

If you’re using a smartphone or tablet, before getting started, make sure your tracker device and mobile phone or tablet are charged and that the Bluetooth setting on your phone is turned on. Then:

  1. Download the Fitbit mobile app from the Apple App Store, Google Play or the Windows Store. Then log in or create an account using an email address and password of your choice.
  2. Once you've logged in to the Fitbit app, tap on the Device Tab in the upper left corner. Then select Add new Devices.
  3. Select your device and follow the in-app prompts to complete the setup process.

Q: Will this benefit cost me anything? Will I need to buy batteries?

For members with this benefit, there is no cost for the Fitbit device or the Fitbit app and there is no subscription needed.

Your Fitbit will need to be recharged approximately every five days, but an electric charger cord is included. There are no batteries to buy or change (depends on battery life and other factors).

Q: I already have a Fitbit device. Can I get reimbursed from SCAN for my purchase?

Unfortunately, no. SCAN can provide a new Fitbit device if you are eligible for one, but you cannot be reimbursed for one you previously purchased.

*The feature has not been tested for and is not intended for use by people under 22 years old. The feature is not intended for use for people with a history or diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. This feature is not intended to provide a notification on every episode of irregular rhythm suggestive of AFib and the absence of a notification is not intended to indicate no disease process is present; rather the Fitbit Irregular Rhythm Notifications is intended to opportunistically surface a notification of possible AFib when sufficient data are available for analysis.
