Tobacco Surcharge for Premiums
I smoke but I’m trying to quit. What happens if I don’t disclose to an insurance company that I use tobacco?
If you report inaccurate or false information about your tobacco use on an application, an insurer is allowed to retroactively impose the tobacco surcharge to the beginning of the plan year. However, the insurer is not allowed to cancel your coverage because of the false or incorrect information.
