Their goal is to provide benefits or arrange for benefits to be provided to those who are eligible and enroll or sign up.

What is the Over the Counter Benefit?

It is a supplemental over-the-counter (OTC) benefit that allows members to order OTC medications at no additional cost. It is an allowance provided for Over-the-Counter items. This benefit will help with the cost of necessary health care items that are not covered as a medical or pharmacy expense under your plan. In addition, it can help you save money on a wide selection of products like pain relievers, cold medications, first aid supplies, dental care and much more.

Get access to hundreds of retail wellness products when you use the quarterly over-the-counter allowance. And even better, any unused portion of your quarterly allowance can be rolled over to the next quarter.

Why use the OTC benefit?

• Save Money — Members can get OTC items they need without spending money out of pocket. Get an allowance per each quarter to use on a wide range of health-related items such as cold remedies and personal care items.
• Easy Access — OTC orders are delivered straight to members’ homes. No need to drive anywhere.
• Save Time — One less trip to the pharmacy means members get to spend more time on what matters most.
• FREE Shipping — There are no shipping or handling fees.

No Extra Costs!

These products are all provided at no extra cost but by using a credit / pre-determined allowance provided under the benefit. The orders will be shipped to their home at no extra charge.

Currently Gateway Health works with Fieldtex to allow their members to take advantage of their OTC benefit.

These products are all provided at no extra cost when part of an eligible plan. They simply use credits / a pre-determined allowance provided under the benefit. The orders are shipped to their home at no extra charge. There are three ways that members of this program can submit their prescription orders:

• Order by Mail.

DO YOU QUALIFY?

You will need to make sure you check your plan’s Summary of Benefits of your personal current plan to confirm if a plan offers this benefit. If it does, you must also check the plan’s specific OTC allowance frequency, as it can be either monthly or quarterly. The allowance amount varies and depends on the plan. You may call the number provided at the beginning of this article for direction.

Only some plans include a quarterly allowance. The credits can be used to pay for select over-the-counter medications and supplies, including allergy medication, digestive health treatments, first aid supplies, pain relievers, and more. If your plan includes this benefit, review your Evidence of Coverage to find your exact quarterly allowance amount.
