Use Your 1st Quarter OTC Benefits Before They Expire!

Don’t Forget Your OTC Benefits This Quarter!

If you're on a Medicare Advantage plan, you likely have Over-the-Counter (OTC) benefits that reset every three months. That means your 1st quarter balance may expire soon—and we don’t want you to lose money or miss out on helpful items.


Why You Should Use Your OTC Benefits Now

  • They’re already included in your plan—no extra cost.

  • You can stock up on items you use every day.

  • Staying prepared helps prevent small health issues.

  • Unused benefits usually don’t roll over.


What You Can Order

Most seniors use OTC benefits to get:

  • Vitamins & supplements

  • Pain or allergy relief

  • Digestive aids

  • First-aid items

  • Personal care products

  • Blood pressure cuffs, pill organizers, and more


How to Order (It’s Simple!)

You can place your order:

  1. Online through your plan’s OTC website

  2. By phone using the number on your card

  3. By mail with your OTC catalog form

Many plans offer free home delivery.
