Quitline Fliers and Handouts
Fax Referral Form
Tobacco users ready to quit within
30 days can be referred to the quitline by a signed fax
referral form (English / Spanish) sent by their healthcare provider, so that the tobacco
user does not need to make the first call – the quitline can call
them to initiate the cessation process. The quitline cannot inform
anyone of a caller's participation in quitline services due to confidentiality
issues, however, the caller can request a Certificate
of Enrollment to provide evidence of participation in an evidence-based
cessation support program via the quitline. The certificate is then
sent directly to the caller, not the provider. (Note: To be eligible
for the Certificate, the caller needs to enroll in the callback program). Healthcare providers may receive feedback on patient progress if they are a HIPAA-covered entity.
