When it comes to basic needs, a little can go a long way. That’s why some seniors and other eligible Medicare beneficiaries made the most from this perk in 2022. Known sometimes as the Grocery Card, this benefit provided a monthly allowance of up to $75 a month to spend on approved healthy foods at participating stores across the U.S. Qualifying items included milk, eggs, bread, juices, water, yogurts, fruits, vegetables and more. Best of all, this allowance reloaded every month, providing assistance with achieving a nutritious and balanced diet as well as reducing monthly out-of-pocket costs.
Another benefit of certain plans in 2022 was an allowance of up to $35 every three months to spend on over the counter (OTC) health-related items, such as first aid supplies, support braces, and pain relievers.
These allowances helped many Americans in 2022. So what are some Medicare Advantage plans offering in 2023?
