A 90-day course of therapy is covered once per lifetime or 180-days if you use a generic nicotine patch, copays apply.

Other medications to stop smoking, such as bupropion and Chantix, are covered. Talk with your physician to see if these are right for you. Chantix, a brand-name drug, is available for a $30 copay. Bupropion, a generic drug for Wellbutrin, is available for a $10 copay.

If you are a tobacco user and want to quit, call QCARE today for help with the first step.
