Health Alliance Plan (HAP)
partners with Weight Watchers
www.hap.org
The HAP Advantage now offers preferred HAP member rates on Weight Watchers.
This is not a covered benefit - it's added value to your HAP membership. All HAP members have access to this exciting addition to the HAP Advantage. Whether you'd like to attend weekly meetings or start an "At-Work" program at your place of employment, Weight Watchers will offer you a great HAP member rate. Visit www.888-3-florine.com for details or call (888) 3-Florine (888 335-6746), and identify yourself as a HAP member. Show your HAP ID card at any Weight Watchers meeting location.

Health Alliance Plan HMO members can join Weight Watchers for just $25 and HAP will pay the rest.   Please note, you must be an active HAP HMO member in order to participate in this special program. This offer is limited to WeightWatchers® meetings in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Monroe, Genessee, Lapeer, Livingston, Washtenaw and St. Clair counties.

Once you have completed the first 12-week session, you become eligible to re-join the next 12-week session for another $25 up front fee as long as you attend 10 out of 12 meetings during the previous session. If you continue to attend at least 10 meetings per session, you can continue rejoining for the $25 up-front fee for up to four (4) 12-week sessions!

HAP HMO plan members are not obligated to rejoin additional sessions after they complete the first one. Those who do not attend at least 10 sessions may continue as WeightWatchers® members - but will be responsible for the entire cost of the membership which is available at a special HAP discount of $138.

HAP HMO members can join Curves and save 50 percent off initial service fee. In addition, indicate that you would like to "sign up" for the HAP HMO reimbursement program. If you are already a member of Curves, you are still eligible to participate in the $10 reimbursement portion of the program.  For those HAP HMO members who attend Curves at least nine times a month, HAP will work with Curves to reimburse the member $10 toward their monthly dues, for up to 12 consecutive months.

For more details visit www.hap.org or call HAP Client Services toll-free at (800) 422-4641.
