Weight Management Programs

For some people, weight management programs provide the consistent support and community that they need to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle long-term. Did you know that employees can earn Tier 2 points for participating in a weight management program of their choosing? Select “Read more” for information on choosing a safe weight management program, discounts on WW (Weight Watchers), and how to track your participation to earn Tier 2 points.

Weight management programs aren’t right for everyone, so it’s important to consider what program, if any, would be the best fit for you. This article from the National Institutes of Health provides tips to consider in selecting a safe and successful weight loss program.

Employees and dependents covered under the university-sponsored health plans with Medical Mutual can join WW (Weight Watchers) at a deeply discounted rate. Learn more here.

Once you’ve found a weight management program that works for you, participate for at least 10 weeks within 3 consecutive months to earn Tier 2 wellness reward points. To track your participation, login to your Be Well Solutions portal and navigate to the “Wellness Reward Program” page. Open the green dropdown box for Tier 2 and scroll to the “Weight Management Program” category. Download the form from the “What to Submit” column. This form can be completed twice for a total of 80 Tier 2 points per reward program cycle.
