- After you visit a provider for your tobacco cessation session, the provider will submit a claim on your behalf.

Make sure to request a copy of your visit summary during your counseling session.
Pharmacy Resources
CVS Caremark is the State Health Plan’s Pharmacy Benefit Manager.
The State Health Plan utilizes a custom, closed formulary (drug list). The formulary indicates which drugs are excluded from the formulary and not covered by the Plan. All other drugs that are on the formulary are grouped into tiers. Your medication’s tier determines your portion of the drug cost.
These documents and tools include information based on the 2023 formulary and are subject to change prior to January 1, 2024.
