Anthem Live Tobacco Free Program

Going nicotine-free is one of the most important steps you can take for your health. In fact, the health benefits of quitting are almost immediate — with your heart rate and blood pressure dropping within a few hours. If you or your spouse struggle with nicotine use, Modine partners with Anthem to provide a personalized experience to help you quit. The Live Tobacco Free Program is a five-session telephonic and web-based program with a personal specialist. By enrolling in this program, you are one step closer to living a healthier life.

Nicotine User Medical Rates

If you enroll in a Modine medical plan, you will be asked to certify you and your enrolled spouse do not use nicotine products. A nicotine user is defined as a person who has used nicotine anytime within the 12-month period before the first day of the plan year, which begins January 1. For 2025, the nicotine user rate is $11.54 per week ($600 annually) in addition to your regular medical premiums.

If you are a nicotine user, you may qualify for the non-nicotine medical rate by completing the Live Tobacco Free Program. Once you and/or your spouse enroll, you’ll need to provide the enrollment date to your HR Representative. The program must be completed within three months from your enrollment date. If you and /or your spouse do not complete the cessation program, you will not receive the non-nicotine medical rate.
