What to Expect

We prepare your patients for success

Once you refer a patient, a Quit Coach will call your patient within 48 hours of receiving your referral and offer NYS Quitline services.

Individualized coaching will help motivate a quit attempt, prepare for the quit process, and avoid future relapse.

Medication supply and coverage

Eligible patients will be offered a supply of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). All patients will be advised to learn about their health plan cessation benefits, including stop-smoking medication coverage.

Patients will also be informed of additional support, like health plans and local programs, websites, and self-help materials.
