Summary
The Missouri Tobacco Quitline has expanded eligibility for tobacco cessation services to all tobacco users willing to set a quit date within 30 days. Services include telephone counseling, text support, web coaching, and nicotine replacement therapy, with MO HealthNet participants referred to providers for NRT since it's covered under their pharmacy program.
Action Required
No immediate billing action required. This is an informational notice about available tobacco cessation resources. Staff may inform patients about the free Missouri Tobacco Quitline services at 1-800-QUIT-NOW, particularly noting that MO HealthNet participants should be referred to their healthcare providers for nicotine replacement therapy rather than the Quitline.
