Cost of Treatment Study—Wisconsin

This study, a Cost of Treatment study, examines the awareness, use, and cost of insurance coverage for tobacco cessation treatment among Wisconsin state employees and retirees. It is a three-year observational study in which 16 of the 17 health insurance carriers that serve state employees agreed to participate. This new insurance coverage for tobacco cessation treatment became available on Jan. 1, 2001. This study collects awareness, use and cost data for the first three years of that benefit's availability. Data on the Wisconsin state employees’ self-reported use of the new smoking cessation benefit has been collected and analysis is underway.
