SB 734: Oregon's Opportunity for Tobacco Users to Quit

The 2009 Oregon Legislature passed a new law (Senate Bill 734) that requires commercial health insurers to cover tobacco use cessation as a core benefit. The law took effect on Jan. 1, 2010. Each private health plan in Oregon, or insurer that covers any Oregon resident, must provide enrollees a core benefit of at least $500 for access to and coverage for FDA-approved treatment options such as basic treatment programs and available services and therapies.
