Tobacco Reasonable Alternative Standard (RAS) Administration

Tobacco surcharges are increasing in popularity as employers continue to find ways to provide affordable health coverage for employees and family members. Effective January 1, 2014, as a function of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), insurers and employers are able to charge tobacco users up to 50% more than non-users. A key component to the ACA regulations that many employers overlook is the requirement within the ACA that forces an employer to provide access to a tobacco cessation program as a Reasonable Alternative Standard (RAS) to a tobacco surcharge.

CuraLinc Healthcare offers the 'U Breathe' tobacco cessation program, combined with complete RAS administration, to employers as a turnkey solution to the ACA requirement. RAS Administration is embedded within the Enhanced and Premier models; and also sold as a stand-alone product for employers that do not elect the aforementioned models.
