STOP SMOKING BENEFITS
If you are a smoker, there is now a program to help you.
Assistance is available to you and to your spouse if you are eligible for dependent coverage.
There is no cost to you or your spouse.
The Health Plan has partnered with Free & Clear to offer a Stop Smoking Program. The program uses a combination of phone counseling and nicotine replacement drugs to achieve some of the highest “quit rates” in the country.
All you have to do is call the toll-free Quitline at 1-866-QUIT-4-LIFE (1-866-784-8454) to speak to one of the trained counselors. Identify yourself as a “UFCW Midwest Plan” member and be ready to provide the ID number from your UFCW/BlueCross health card. This ID number is in the bottom left side of your card and begins with “UFC 803.”
You can get more information or enroll on-line by visitng the QuitLine website at www.quitnow.net. If you prefer to enroll on-line, click "Enroll Online Now." Under "Select Your Employer," pick UFCW Midwest Health Benefits Fund; under "Select Your Health Plan," pick BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois; enter your ZIP code and answer the resulting questions to complete your enrollment.
It will be tougher to quit in the future. Recent studies show that the nicotine levels in the most popular brands of cigarettes
have increased by over 10% in the last decade. This makes cigarettes more addictive and harder to quit. If this trend
continues, it will be tougher to quit in the future than it is now. Don’t let this happen to you.
If you smoke, call the QuitlLne at 1-866-QUIT-4-LIFE (1-866-784-8454) today.
