1-minute read

You get $40 on your Healthy Benefits + OTC card each quarter

Don't forget to use your Healthy Benefits Plus OTC card for over-the-counter essentials like allergy medicine, pain relievers and more. If you are a HealthSelectSM Medicare Advantage plan participant, you should have received a pre-paid debit card at the start of the plan year.

How does it work?

Each quarter (January, April, July and October), you get $40 applied to your card to buy over-the-counter items at participating retail locations, online, over-the-phone, or by mail through the OTC catalog. OTC catalog items will be delivered to your home at no additional cost (minimum order required). Your balance can be carried over from quarter-to-quarter but must be used by December 31.
