The Weight Watchers benefit is available to anyone covered on an OEBB medical plan (age 10 and up) effective October 1, 2011.
You can access the benefit in three different ways - choose the one that's right for you.

You are eligible for four 13-week sessions per plan year (10/1-9/30), but you must provide proof of participation in 10 of the 13 weeks per session to participate in a subsequent session at no cost.
