TIP: A postcard sent to UMP enrollees calls the program "Quit for Life." This is the same program as described below; it is free to UMP enrollees, and the drugs and nicotine replacement supplies are covered as stated below.

UMP covers these services only when you are enrolled in the Free & Clear tobacco cessation program; no other stop smoking services are covered. Free & Clear provides phone counseling and online communication, as well as 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 Free & Clear, you can also earn a $30 gift card.

ALERT!  Only nicotine products supplied by Free & Clear are covered by UMP.

UMP covers these services at 100%. You do not have to pay toward your annual medical deductible or coinsurance.

When recommended by your Free & Clear counselor, the following medications are free to you:

• Nicotine patches, lozenges, or gum
• Prescription drugs: buproprion (the generic for Zyban^® ) and Chantix^® 

Nicotine patches, lozenges, or gum will be sent to you by Free & Clear at no cost to you. Note: These medications are covered by UMP only when supplied directly by Free & Clear; you cannot purchase them and get reimbursed later. If Free & Clear doesn't supply the product you want, you will have to pay the entire cost out of pocket.

ALERT!  Only Chantix and buproprion (the generic for Zyban) are covered. NOTE: When a generic becomes available, the brand-name drug is not covered under this benefit.

Prescription drugs covered for tobacco cessation when recommended by your Free & Clear counselor (bupropion and Chantix) require a prescription by a provider. To get these drugs, you must:

• Be participating in Free & Clear.
• Get preauthorization for one of the drugs listed above from your Free & Clear counselor.
• Go to your doctor and request a prescription.

Please allow 72 hours after Free & Clear approves coverage before filling your prescription. NOTE: UMP covers these drugs only at a UMP network pharmacy (retail or Wellpartner).
