Healthcare Insurance Benefit: Free Weight Watchers

My wife has been attending Weight Watchers meetings for a few weeks, and I noticed that my recently renewed Blue Cross health plan provides a $150 weight loss benefit. According to the Blue Cross web site, I can apply for the weight loss benefit by mailing in an application form along with copies of her Weight Watchers membership book and receipts.

While $150 is not a lot of money, it is a nice extra incentive to try to live a healthier lifestyle. Even better, I'm well on my way to a thinner (and healthier) wife and a fatter wallet.
