Use your Extended Health Care Plan
Use your extended health care plan. Unlike many other employers, SLB places no maximum on prescription smoking cessation drugs. If the time is right for you, talk to your doctor.
Reimbursement rates and maximums are dependent on the level of coverage chosen for that plan year. If you cover dependents, the maximums are per covered person. Unless stated otherwise the plan maximum will reset at the beginning of the plan year.
TELUS Health EAP Support
Smoking Cessation Services are available to you and your family through your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with TELUS Health if you’re thinking about quitting. Expert tips, information and tools will help you with:
- Motivation in reaching your goal
- Guidance to keep you engaged though the program
- Options to reduce and/or stop smoking
- New focus on health and wellness
- New strategies and skills
- Direction to stay smoke free
TELUS Health offers two options for helping you to stop smoking; the Telephonic Smoking Cessation Program, and the Stop Smoking Centre.
Telephonic Smoking Cessation Program
Stop Smoking Centre
This interactive and personalized online program is designed with six major milestones to help you quit. Convenient and secure, you can access the program online anytime, anywhere. You can also participate in an online peer support group moderated by health care professionals. Only 3% of smokers successfully kick the habit on their own, but research shows that when individuals receive support, they are four times more likely to successfully quit smoking!
