===W.Va. could be weight-loss model with Weight Watchers ===
CHARLESTON, W.Va. The Medicaid program in one of the country's most overweight states is turning to a familiar name to help residents slim down. Up to 75-thousand West Virginians will soon be eligible for free weight loss courses through Weight Watchers. The benefit is a result of an effort by the state Medicaid program and UniCare, the largest provider of Medicaid coverage in the state.
Medicaid clients of Unicare who obtain a physician's referral and score within specific ranges on the fat-measuring body mass index will be eligible to take up to 16 weeks of courses for free from Weight Watchers.
West Virginia, which faces more than 100 (m) million dollars in annual costs linked to obesity, has the third-highest percentage of obese residents in the country, behind Mississippi and Tennessee.
