Offer “White Glove” Service with an OTC Benefit Card
The supplemental benefits landscape is booming, with OTC benefits as its mainstay. As health plans seek ways to expand and enhance their supplemental benefits, countless Medicare Advantage (MA) members are recognizing the value of their health plan’s OTC benefit as a highly useful and meaningful tool to help manage their health.
“Health plans that are seeing higher utilization of their OTC benefit program are also reporting improved member health, satisfaction, and reductions in costs of care,” said Melissa Murray, Convey vice president of operations.
The intensity of competition within the MA marketplace commands health plans to consistently identify solutions that contribute to enrollment growth. As a focal point of Convey’s thoughtfully developed member-centric OTC services, Convey’s Medicare OTC card is a solution that will do just that.
The point-of-sale Medicare OTC card is supported by Convey’s Miramar technology and administrative services. Members receive an OTC benefit card with a pre-determined allowance for approved, health-related OTC products such as vitamins and minerals, diabetes care, and nutritional supplements.
Convey manages member experience, compliance, and utilization, so health plans can focus on their core strategies. MA beneficiaries receive Convey’s award-winning customer service throughout their supplemental benefits experience.
