MMWR on Medicaid Coverage for Tobacco Dependence Treatments -  Despite high smoking prevalence (35 percent) among recipients, high economic burden, and the availability of evidence-based and cost-effective treatments, eight state Medicaid programs did not cover any tobacco-dependence treatments, and only one program (Oregon) covered all recommended treatments in 2006. Providing full Medicaid coverage for all recommended tobacco dependence treatments, eliminating barriers to the use of these treatments, promoting treatment use, and educating Medicaid recipients and providers about coverage are critical to reducing tobacco use among this increased-risk population. Partnership's former Vice President of Policy, Corinne Husten, is a co-author on the new study.

Recommendations for Improving Your Prevention Investment

This report offers an overview of the results of a nationwide survey—a collaboration between Partnership for Prevention (Partnership) and Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Inc. (Mercer)—that asked employers about their coverage of preventive services both within and outside of a health insurance benefit.  It compares the survey results to key findings from Partnership’s most recent analysis of the relative health impact and cost-effectiveness of 25 preventive services recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).  And it concludes with recommendations to employers for increasing the coverage and use of preventive services.
