Are my Monthly Contributions higher if I, or a participating Member in my family, uses tobacco products?

Do I pay more if I smoke?

ChoiceCare, SelectCare, DPC and TeleHelath+ have no penalties for tobacco use and benefits are available with no reduction or increased cost.


For inpatient or catastrophic medical services, due to the increased likelihood of higher medical costs associated with tobacco use, Zion Health households with one or more tobacco users are required to contribute a higher Monthly Contribution amount to maintain Membership. Additionally, medical needs for tobacco users age 50 and older are limited to $50,000 for each of the following four disease categories: Cancer, Heart conditions, COPD and Stroke.
