How to Receive Rewards and Avoid the Tobacco Surcharge
Complete the Health Risk Assessment Questionnaire on the inHealth Wellbeing app or web portal and make an appointment with your primary care provider for your biometric screening between July 1 and Nov. 13, 2026. Your biometric screening includes a tobacco/nicotine-status test (primary holder only; not spouse or dependents). A tobacco/nicotine-only test will not be accepted.
If you test positive or self-attest for tobacco/nicotine and want to avoid the $100 monthly tobacco surcharge, you must complete the virtual five-week BestHealth Tobacco Cessation Course between July 6 and Nov. 16, 2026. The BlueCross BlueShield online tobacco cessation course is NOT an option.
The virtual five-week BestHealth Tobacco Cessation Course includes five required 30-minute virtual group sessions with a wellbeing specialist. Click here to enroll.
