Ready to Quit Smoking? Let NHP Help You!
Take advantage of Neighborhood Health Providers’ (NHP) Quit Smoking benefits and reduce your risk of getting heart disease, stroke and lung cancer. NHP covers the following:
- Counseling: Medicaid and Family Health Plus members who smoke are eligible for six counseling sessions per year. Members who are pregnant and smoke are entitled to six counseling sessions while pregnant and six after delivery.
- Medication: NHP covers many types of medications that can help you quit, such as patches, gums, lozenges, nasal sprays, inhalers, and prescription medications. You can find a list (also called a formulary) of these covered medications by clicking here.
We encourage you to visit your doctor and ask questions about how to quit and which medications may work best for you. Your doctor can help you come up with a strategy to quit.
