Bill overview
The Quit Because of COVID-19 Act expands Medicaid and CHIP coverage to include comprehensive tobacco cessation services, such as counseling, medication, and therapy. It aims to help individuals quit tobacco use during and for two years after the COVID-19 public health emergency. The bill eliminates cost-sharing for these services and encourages states to promote their use through outreach campaigns. It also removes restrictions on certain tobacco cessation medications for young adults.
