Your health is about more than the doctor’s office. That’s why CHPW Medicare Advantage plans give you spending power where it counts: for your groceries, medicine, and wellness products.
- 2023 Plan 2 members can spend up to $25 per month on over-the-counter (OTC) health products.
- 2023 MA Dual Plan (HMO D-SNP) members can spend up to $175 per month on OTC health products and groceries: $125 for OTC purchases and $50 for groceries.
That’s a benefit of $300/year for Plan 2 members and $2,100/year for Dual members.
We partner with to bring you these benefits. You can use your OTC Network® card just like a credit card.

Did you know that certain prescription medicines are available as a 90-day supply? Medicine that you take on a long-term basis to manage your health is called a “maintenance drug.” A 90-day supply makes it easier to keep taking the medicine you need to feel your best. You may also be eligible to receive your long-term medications through free home delivery.
