Tobacco cessation treatment is the single most cost-effective health benefit an employer can provide to its employees. The CDC estimates that companies spend $3,856 per smoker per year in direct medical costs and lost productivity. A growing number of employers across the country have committed to providing evidence-based cessation treatment for their employees through the use of quitlines. Learn first-hand from an employer, health insurer and insurance broker about how they implemented and benefited from offering cessation coverage while also meeting the Affordable Care Act requirements.
