Weight Management Program

Enroll and participate in one of two Healthy Blue Living weight management options if your Blue Care Network Qualification Form shows your BMI is 30 or higher.

Two choices:

Steps walking program

This program works best with Fitbit step-counting devices, including the Fitbit Inspire™ provided by the program. If you use a device from a different brand, note that BCN does not support troubleshooting.

How it works:

  • Set up the Fitbit Inspire provided by the program

  • Synchronize your device with your online member account

  • Wear your device and average at least 5,000 steps per day

  • Open the Fitbit app daily to auto refresh your step count

WeightWatchers program

Blue Care Network offers workshops by WeightWatchers, also known as WW, to Healthy Blue Living members whose qualification form shows a body mass index of 30 or higher.

How it works:

  • Enroll in WW through your online member account

  • Attend your first workshop within a week of signing up

  • Track your participation with the BCN Proof of Attendance Form

How the WeightWatchers program works

As a Healthy Blue Living member, you'll need to see your doctor and have them complete a qualification form within the first 90 days of your plan year.

If your qualification form shows your BMI is 30 or more, you'll need to join a weight management program to receive the enhanced benefit level.

WeightWatchers is one option.

We cover the cost of this program when you sign up through your online member account at BCBSM.com.

And you can attend either virtual or in-person workshops.

To enroll, click on My Coverage at the top navigation bar.

Go to Medical. Next, To-Do list. Then Health Measure Follow Up.

Select WW.

Enter your ZIP code near work or home.

Click Submit.

You'll see a Healthy Blue Living code on your screen.

Next call WeightWatchers to sign up.

They'll ask for your code and help you find your first workshop.

You should attend your first workshop within one week.

Make sure you attend 11 workshops within your three month subscription period and document your attendance in the BCN Proof of Attendance Form.

You can get this by going online to BCBSM.com/hblweight.

After the three month period, if you haven't reached a BMI of under 30, you'll need to enroll in another session to stay in the enhanced benefit level.
