TIP: The "Quit for Life" tobacco cessation program is offered through Free & Clear.

The plan covers tobacco cessation services only when you are enrolled in the Quit for Life tobacco cessation program offered through Free & Clear. No other stop smoking services are covered. The program provides phone counseling, online communications, nicotine replacement therapy, and educational materials to help you quit using tobacco. Enroll by calling 1-866-784-8454, or go to www.quitnow.net/ump/. When you participate in Quit for Life, you can also earn a $30 gift card.

These services are covered at 100%. You do not pay toward your medical deductible or coinsurance.

ALERT!  Only nicotine products supplied by Free & Clear are covered. If you choose to get a product that Free & Clear doesn't supply, you will have to pay the entire cost out of pocket.

When recommended by your Quit for Life counselor, the following medications are free to you:

• Nicotine patches, lozenges, or gum
• Prescription drugs identified in the Washington State Rx Services Preferred Drug List as covered when preauthorized by Free & Clear.

Nicotine patches, lozenges, or gum will be sent to you by Free & Clear at no cost to you. Nicotine replacement therapy is covered only when supplied directly by Free & Clear. You cannot purchase these products and get reimbursed later. 

To receive coverage for prescription drugs, you must:

• Be participating in the Quit for Life tobacco cessation program.
• Get preauthorization from your Quit for Life counselor.
• Go to your doctor and request a prescription.

Please allow three business days after Free & Clear approves coverage before filling your prescription. Prescription drugs for tobacco cessation are covered only at a network pharmacy (retail or Wellpartner, the network mail-order pharmacy).

ALERT!  See the current Washington State Rx Services Preferred Drug List for drugs covered under this benefit. If your provider prescribes a noncovered drug for tobacco cessation, you will have to pay the full cost. Note: When a generic drug becomes available, the brand-name drug is not covered.
