Inches Away offers an incentive of $1,500 (lifetime max) divided into two payments: the first payment of $500 occurs when you lose 10% of your initial weight and a final payment of $1000 after one year of maintaining or improving your weight loss. You must have group medical coverage to be eligible for this program.

Inches Away - For Adolescents

If you are under 18 years of age, Inches Away reimburses the total cost of a weight loss program (up to a $1,500 lifetime max) and is paid in one payment after completion of the program. A receipt showing payment is required, and adolescents must be referred into the program by a physician. You must have group medical coverage to be eligible for this program.

PHP Smoking Cessation Program

In effort to support healthy lifestyles, PHP has established two separate programs to help members who want to quit their smoking habit. Select the program that best suits you!

The CHANTIX™ Benefit Program

CHANTIX™ is a covered medication specifically developed to help individuals kick the tobacco habit and available under your benefit plan. PHP will cover up to two consecutive twelve-week courses of CHANTIX™ in a calendar year. Each twelve-week course consists of three individual prescriptions, each with its own 2nd tier co-payment or co-insurance. The success rate to quit smoking is higher if an individual takes advantage of a support program in conjunction with drug therapy. A program called "GetQuit" is free of charge to those using CHANTIX™. Logon to www.chantix.com for more information.

Smoking Cessation Reimbursement Program

A reimbursement program is available for members who elect not to use CHANTIX™ medication to quit smoking. PHP will reimburse a member up to $300 for charges paid for any type of therapy (including nicotine patch, nicotine gum, nicotine inhalers, and/or classes) if the member remains smoke-free for at least one year after the end of the therapy. Here are more program details:

• The PHP member is responsible for all smoking cessation costs while becoming smoke-free.
• After a one year, smoke-free period, the PHP member must have a PHP participating physician complete and submit the Non-Smoking Verification Form.
• The PHP member must submit all paid receipts to PHP for consideration. After review, PHP will reimburse the member up to a maximum of $300 (per lifetime). Depending on the therapy used, copays may apply.
• The member must be an active PHP member throughout the entire process.
• Return the Non-Smoking Verification Form and paid receipts to:
       Pharmacy Department
       PHP
       8101 West Jefferson Blvd.
       Fort Wayne, IN 46804

Additional support programs for use with any drug therapy are available at our Nurseline 24/7 and also at MyHealth 24/7, and under the AHA Start! Health programs link located in the Health Resources section of this Web site.
