As a Premera Blue Cross Medicare
Advantage member, you receive up to $50 each quarter to use on over-the-counter
(OTC) health and wellness products through OTC Health Solutions. That’s up to
$200 per year to spend on generic personal care items, bath and safety supplies,
incontinence items, and more!
Your
OTC benefit can be utilized multiple times throughout the quarter, up to your
benefit limit based on plan, as shown in the chart below. Your benefit does not
roll over each quarter, so make sure to use each quarter’s allowance before the
end of the period:
- Quarter 1: January 1 through March 31
- Quarter 2: April 1 through June 30
- Quarter 3: July 1 through September 30
- Quarter 4: October 1 through December 31
