Nicotine Cessation

Health Plan Advocate utilizes a motivation-based approach to cessation, focusing on helping each member set reasonable and attainable goals based on their current situation. Our goal is to support the member in the most positive way possible, rather than resorting to scare tactics.

Individual Coaching

HPA's nicotine cessation coaching empowers individuals to kick the habit. Coaches utilize accountability, encouragement, education, education, and provision of resources to establish a relationship with the individual and achieve higher cessation rates.

Studies show that adults learn best when self-directed and that nicotine users are 70% more likely to quit when they work with a coach. HPA strongly believes in the power of motivational interviewing to accomplish this.

Coaching is offered in-person, telephonically, and virtually.
