WeightWatchers: what it costs and how it works

WeightWatchers is one of four independent telehealth companies Eli Lilly lists on its own site for obesity care. Lilly publishes the price as $149 a month, with $74 a month available if you pay for a year up front, for the care rather than the medication. WeightWatchers states that its medical services are delivered through an affiliated medical group, WeightWatchers Clinic, and that it accepts Medicare nationwide and Medicaid in some states.
