Tobacco Cessation

Wellness Program: Tobacco Surcharge

BrightSpring’s wellness program includes a $50 monthly surcharge per tobacco user unless you:

  1. Complete an attestation that you have not recently used tobacco or related products
  2. Complete our free tobacco cessation program by Dec.31.
  3. Contact us at BrightSpringBenefits@BrightSpringHealth.com to arrange for and complete a reasonable alternative that is right you.

If you complete the free tobacco cessation program or the reasonable alternative, the monthly tobacco surcharge will end and any surcharge paid will be refunded to you in a single payment.

If you need help quitting, you can find information about the tobacco cessation program through the EAP. Certified tobacco counselors provide:

  • One-on-one telephone counseling
  • An individualized assistance plan
  • Techniques and strategies to quit smoking for good
