Tobacco Use Surcharge Delayed until 2011
The Tobacco Use Surcharge has now been delayed for one year. The December 2010 deduction for January 2011 coverage will be the first to include the surcharge for covered employees and spouses who use tobacco products. Although the surcharge has been delayed for a year, the lowered co-payments for tobacco quit aids will still be available until Dec. 31, 2009. You can use your health insurance card to obtain certain prescription drugs and over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapies for very low copay. To use this benefit, you must have a prescription, even for the over-the-counter products. (Posted 7/1/09)
