Tobacco Cessation Telephone Quitlines
This Informational Bulletin provides further information about the quitline policy announced in
the June 24, 2011 State Medicaid Director Letter on tobacco cessation services
(http://www.cms.gov/smdl/downloads/SMD11-007.pdf), in response to questions we have
received. We hope that this will be helpful to States as they consider the opportunity to
strengthen their tobacco cessation strategies for Medicaid beneficiaries.
