The Commonwealth of Virginia is offering Weight Watchers at special pricing to state employees, spouses and adult dependents. While the initiative begins on January 15, 2008, it may take several weeks for at-work programs to start. Weight Watchers is a pilot program for eligible participants through Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, the medical plan administrator for the state health benefits program. Visit Weight Watchers on this site for information on the four program options, special offerings and how to join. Employees eligible for the health benefits program may also be reimbursed for half the cost of services, once they have completed program requirements.
Special pricing is available to state employees, spouses and adult dependents for Weight Watchers services. Employees currently eligible for the state health benefits program may be reimbursed for half of the cost of Weight Watchers service fees. Reimbursement is not available to spouses and adult dependents and is valid for employee service fees only. To be reimbursed, employees must be eligible for the state health benefits program and complete the participation requirements of a Weight Watchers program.
Under Construction
If you are a Weight Watchers volunteer, you may set up an at-work meeting when you know you have enough employee interest (at least 20 employees). Call 1-800-8-AT WORK (1-800-828-9675) and a local At-Work Manager will help you. Only state employees may attend an at-work meeting – no spouses, dependents or non-state employees. Participants pay in the meeting room by check or credit card. For more information, visit the Weight Watchers Power Point Presentation.
