Tobacco Cessation Program

Calling it quits is not easy. But the benefits of not using tobacco or nicotine are real. And almost immediate! See a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate. Lower the risk for heart attack. And discover improvements in circulation and lung function. Medica's Tobacco Cessation program provides the support a person needs to kick the habit for good.

New in 2012: In addition to improved health and fitness, when you enroll no later than May 31, 2012, and complete the Tobacco Cessation program from Medica by August 31, 2012, you can earn 150 points for your Wellness Points Bank. Wellness points accumulated in 2012 can be used to reduce the cost of your 2013 UPlan Medical Program premiums by $300 or $400.
