Have you Medicare users discovered your OTC money? We use Humana and I discovered it while exploring their app I use to order my BP meds. We get $50 a quarter to use in their online store. The first allotment for 2020 expires March 31. Don’t let it slip away. I ordered my fish oil and my D3 this morning. Got a couple bottles of eye drops added to make it add up to $50 exactly. Yea me!

It’s part of hour supplemental plan. We use Humana. Their app on my phone is my access point. Contact your provider or install their app and look for it in the app.

Ok so it's not Medicare, it's part of your paid humana supplement plan. From your title I thought this was through Medicare.

My Prominence supplemental plan give me an OTC card that's good at Walmart or Walgreen's or CVS and has $25 added every month. If you don't use it it carries over to the next month. Comes in handy for stuff like vitamins and Tylenol and the like.

I think this is a Medicare advantage plan. Any Medicare plan that uses a commercial insurance Carrier is a Medicare advantage plan. Those are good for patient but terrible many times for doctors. We take a few but many we don’t. They just don’t pay docs well (close to Medicaid rates or worse) and are a lot of times a pain in the butt to deal with.
Straight Medicare does not have a OTC benefit. Only Medicare advantage plans do that

Yes! It’s an advantage plan. Couldn’t remember the proper terminology.
