Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield - Weight Watchers
We are getting to that time of year when everyone makes the “I am going to lose weight” New
Year’s resolution. This year we have some help!
Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield has partnered with Weight Watchers to offer a special
program to their Municipal Clients. Anthem will partially reimburse employees who
participate in any on-line or community Weight Watchers meeting. At work meetings also
qualify. The City does not currently have an on site Weight Watchers meeting, but if anyone
is interested in forming a group please contact the Pension & Benefits office. We’ll keep a list
and if enough people want to meet, we will contact Weight Watcher’s to see if they will
provide a leader. A minimum of 15 employees is required.
If you attend and provide the required “proof of participation” for a minimum of 10 weeks the
reimbursement is $50 and if you attend a minimum of 15 weeks the reimbursement is $75.
Anthem is fully funding this program and it is of course completely voluntary. Spouses are
eligible as are dependent children over the age of 18.
We are attaching the proof of participation form. Take the form to your meeting, get it
signed by a Weight Watchers staff member and submit the form to Anthem to get your check.
If you are an on line member, print out the Weight Tracker and submit with the participation
form.
The deadline for signing up for this special program is January 31, 2011, so don’t miss
out on this great opportunity!
