Cost-Sharing Partnership Initiative Orientation Video Series.

Cost-sharing partnerships can be a viable option for ensuring quitline sustainability and ensuring access to evidence-based services for all people wanting to quit tobacco. This initiative strives to provide states with the knowledge, resources, and technical assistance to successfully establish partnerships with both private and public insurers.

The first three videos in NAQC’s new orientation series on quitline cost-sharing partnerships are now online. Recordings are no more than 20 minutes in length,and include an Overview of the Cost-Sharing Partnership Process, a tutorial on the State Cessation Environmental Assessment Tool, and an Overview of Medicaid Partnership Options. Each video is accompanied by supporting resources.  

We would also like to remind you about the past webinar on Medicaid reimbursement for quitline pharmacy products which you find useful in partnership development.
