As part of the ARBenefits wellness program,
active employees and covered spouses who
test positive for nicotine use, can still
successfully complete the program by
enrolling in Tobacco cessation through

Members who test positive for nicotine have
two ways to enroll in a Tobacco Cessation
program through GuidanceResources®. Each
program is offered at not extra cost to the
member.
Members can enroll into the full telephonic
program. The over-the-phone program
includes five sessions with a counselor, and
coverage for cessation aids including
prescriptions and patches.
Members who are interested in enrolling into
the telephonic program can call
GuidanceResources® at 1-877-247-4621.
An online cessation program is also available
for members. The online program consists of
a four parts module. There is no coverage for
cessation aids for members in the online
program.
To enroll into the online Tobacco Cessation
program, members can access
GuidanceResources® through their ARBenefits
Member Portal account. Follow the same
steps outlined in the online health assessment
article above.
Members who go through the online Tobacco
Cessation program need to make sure they

Diabetes Management Program Moving to Kannact
ARBenefits is excited to announce a new
management program available to members
with diabetes. Kannact is a program available,
at no cost, to all ARBenefits members.
Kannact combines real-time biometric
monitoring with one-on-one coaching to help
members engage and better navigate the day
to day challenges of living with diabetes.
Kannact does not replace a member’s
physician, but rather partners with the
provider to provide support and guidance
between visits.
On August 21, 2018, The State and Public
School Life and Health Insurance Board
approved a motion to transition the Plan’s
diabetes management program to Kannact.
Additional information will be provided to
members that currently participate in the
diabetes management program through
Active Health Management who wish to
transition to Kannact.
Kannact sends all necessary testing supplies
directly to the participants’ doorstep. The
following supplies and benefits are provided
at no cost to the member, and are fully paid
for by the Plan through an in-network claim
reimbursement. No more fighting with the
pharmacy to get your supplies!
Bluetooth Glucometer which uploads
your readings to your private Kannact
portal; no need to log your readings
anymore.
Prescribed testing strips & lancets
shipped directly to your door step
24-hour access via mobile app, text
messaging and phone
Diabetes self-management tools and
guidance through an ADEA certified
diabetes health coach
