Health First Colorado

(Colorado’s Medicaid Program)

Are you ready to quit smoking? Do you need help to quit smoking? Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) can help.

Health First Colorado pays for counseling to help you quit smoking. Health First Colorado also covers smoking cessation products (e.g., Chantix, nicotine patches and nicotine gum) with a prior authorization.

These steps can help you get started:

  1. Talk to your doctor about your smoking habit and your goal to quit.
  2. Your doctor may give you a prescription for a tobacco cessation product or medicine. Tobacco cessation medications including nicotine gum, nicotine patch, nicotine lozenge, nicotine inhaler (Nicotrol®), varenicline (Chantix®), and bupropion SR (Zyban®) are covered for members and do not require a prior authorization.
