The initiative to have the Massachusetts Medicaid system include Zyban in their formulary for smoking cessation as a drug intervention therapy is a collaborative with the Worcester Healthcare Outreach and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Research through relevant literature and contact with professionals in the medical discipline showed data that permitted a proposal for a study to directly link Zyban to cost savings. Access to drug cessation therapies can provide general improvement in health as well as save costs for the state.
