$2.5 million is dedicated towards "Quit Cards" which reimburse pharmacies up to $450 in nicotine replacement therapies. 

These quit cards are currently being distributed via in-patient hospitals and cancer centres. Patients bring their quit card to their local pharmacy to obtain free NRT. 

Adjudication details can be found at: ottawamodel.ottawaheart.ca/quitcard

[If you have any questions or difficulties processing, contact STI Customer Support at 1-877-790-1991 (7:30am-5pm EST). Process the claim using the QUIT CARD set as PRIMARY PAYER. Use “99999” in the PRESCRIBER ID field and “QUIT CARD” in the PRESCRIBER NAME field.]

After the pilot, the cards *may* be distributed via family physicians and pharmacists as well.
