Real Appeal

Are you enrolled in a GW HSP or PPO medical plan and looking for a weight-loss program? Real Appeal is available to start today!

Real Appeal is a no-cost, virtual weight loss support program offered through UnitedHealthcare for employees on a GW medical plan.  Since January 2019, over 300 employees have joined the program and as a group, they have lost a total 1,300 pounds.

Take small steps for big results!

The program supports members with a body mass index (BMI) of 23 or more – at no cost. Weekly online coaching sessions and tools, such as a Program Success Guide, Nutrition Guide, fitness DVDs, and resistance bands, are included in your enrollment.  Members support one another through online forums and coaching sessions are flexible – if you miss a coaching session, you can reschedule.

If you are currently enrolled in a UnitedHealthcare medical plan through GW, you may enroll at any time. If you newly elected a GW medical plan through UnitedHealthcare for 2020 Open Enrollment, you may enroll beginning January 1, 2020. BMI eligibility criteria must be met.
