Important Membership Information for FY14!

  • NAQC will be sending renewal invoices to all individual members and organizational contacts by February 22
  • Membership renewal process will close on July 1, 2014
  • NAQC did not increase the dues levels for FY2014
Your membership dues allow us to address important policy changes and be flexible in taking on new initiatives that respond to your needs. Below is a review of important products and resources that we launched in the last year and new initiatives we will be working on in the upcoming months.

Medicaid Coverage
Last year NAQC launched a Medicaid Learning Community to support shared-learning and dissemination of proven-practices related to effective implementation of the new CMS guideline allowing quitlines as an allowable administrative cost expenditure. We are continuing this much needed work this year and have added case studies, new webinar topics, and an online resource repository to address member needs. For more information, please visit the Medicaid Coverage page.

Public-Private Partnerships
Developing cost-sharing partnerships with both the private and public health plan sectors can help maximize quitline services and strengthen quitline sustainability. NAQC’s work is focused on 1) establishing a strong foundation of common knowledge among states, provinces and coalitions on how to advance tobacco coverage among public and private insurers, and 2) providing technical assistance to a number of states. A series of webinars, online resources, and technical assistance materials are available on the Public-Private Partnership Initiative page.
