Get Free Quit-Smoking Help

Quitting smoking can be hard, but Paramount is making it easier for you. You can receive up to eight weeks of free nicotine-replacement therapy (NRT) when you enroll in quit line cessation counseling.

Members in Michigan can call the Paramount Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-884-7118. Tell the Quit Line staff that you’re insured by Paramount Care of Michigan (POO#) or employed by ProMedica Health System in Michigan (POOe) and give them your Paramount member ID number. The Quit Line staff will verify your eligibility with Paramount. Members in Ohio can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Have your Paramount ID number ready.

A Quit Kit for You
A quitting specialist will send you materials in English or Spanish. You’ll receive brochures about tobacco use and quitting. Materials are available for pregnant women, teens, American Indians, and chew/ spit tobacco users.

Free NRT Patches
You’ll be eligible to receive four weeks of free nicotine-replacement patches if you enroll in Tobacco Quit Line cessation counseling. If you need additional NRT after four weeks and are still receiving cessation counseling, you can renew the order once, for a maximum of eight weeks of free patches.
