Over-the-Counter Benefits

In 2024, you can get hundreds of retail wellness products at no cost with your Medicare Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP). 

Your OTC Benefits

Your D-SNP may provide you with money every three months to help you pay for over-the-counter (OTC) items, like:

  • Foot cream
  • Diabetic socks

No matter if you want to lose weight, stop smoking or manage pain, your OTC allowance will get refilled every three months.

Important Reminders

When you start using your OTC benefits, here are some important benefit details to know:

  • If you don’t spend your full OTC allowance during any three-month period, you’ll forfeit any remaining balance for that time.
  • If you do spend your full OTC allowance during any three-month period, your plan doesn’t allow using a personal credit card for additional purchases. You must wait for your next three-month period to begin.
  • Limits and restrictions may also apply and are listed in your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) booklet.
  • Note, For 2025, this program will no longer be offered. Instead, over-the-counter benefits will be included in the my flex card program.
