Premium surcharges

You (the subscriber) may be charged a premium surcharge in addition to your monthly medical premium:

Tobacco use premium surcharge

If you or a dependent age 13 or older enrolled on your SEBB medical coverage uses a tobacco product. To avoid the premium surcharge, you and your dependents — ages 18 and older — who use tobacco products can enroll in the Quit for Life Program. Dependents ages 13 to 17 can use the resources at teen.smokefree.gov/.

Spouse or state-registered domestic partner coverage premium surcharge

If your spouse or state-registered domestic partner is enrolled on your SEBB medical coverage and they have elected not to enroll in their employer-based group medical insurance.
