This
brief highlights 6|18’s role in strengthening partnerships to increase access
to and use of evidence-based tobacco cessation services for Medicaid
beneficiaries. It offers guidance based on the experience of seven 6|18 state

Medicaid coverage policy to increase access and remove barriers to tobacco
cessation services; and (3) using promotional strategies to increase
utilization of tobacco cessation benefits.
