Health insurer Humana has partnered with Weight Watchers International to work with employers to improve employee wellness.
Through the deal, Humana members enrolled in "qualified employer-sponsored health plans" will be provided Weight Watchers service for six months at no cost and be given a discounted rate thereafter.
"We want to help employers find effective ways to battle obesity, improve the overall wellness of their employees and create healthy communities," said Beth Bierbower, president of Humana's Employer Group Segment, in a news release. "With that in mind, partnering with Weight Watchers just made sense — it allows us to connect our members with a leading weight loss program so that they can better navigate their wellness journeys."
