Medicare helps cessation of smoking

There are many quit smoking awareness campaigns which are rising these days due to which people are adopting to quit smoking for health and cost benefits. But these campaigns can sometime get expensive as you cannot quit at once you regularly need the treatment for some time and with this help of regular treatment and self motivation you can quit for good.

Medicare also covers this treatment now allowing you a total of two sessions a year. Each session covers four councelling, so a total of eight sessions for 12 months. But you need to shell out 20% of the cost from your pocket as they pay only 80% of the approved cost. For outpatient hospital campaigns you need to pay no larger than Part D deductible.

And if you are in a private Medicare plan you need to contact them to know more about their rules and regulations. Also, if you are already in a Tricare plan and you opt for Medicare then Medicare will pay you first and then if you are still falling short you can ask Tricare for the remaining amount.

The rule is similar for Medicaid where Medicare pays you first and pays more attention to the special nursing requirement and the rest can be covered by Medicaid. You can contact your respective Medicaid and Tricare consultants for detailed rules and regulations.
