The OTCNetwork was founded in 2010. They work with the top Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial health plan providers to provide easier consumer access to eligible items using its reloadable prepaid cards. Their goal is to have their OTC cards accepted with as many retail locations across the U.S. as possible that sell over-the-counter medications.

This program allows eligible Medicare plan members the flexibility in selecting a pharmacy or retailer from whom they can purchase their OTC products from.

Over-the-counter drugs are medicines that can be purchased without a prescription and are usually used for the treatment of minor health problems. They are safe and effective when you follow the directions on the label and as directed by your health care professional. 

If you’re a member of a plan with an over-the-counter (OTC) benefit, you will be mailed an CareOregon Advantage OTC card with a pre-funded / pre-loaded quarterly allowance upon enrollment. Items that may be available with this allowance are:

  • Acid Controllers
  • Adult Cough, Cold & Flu Medication
  • Adult Pain Relief Products
  • Bandages / Band Aids
  • Cough Drops / Sore Throat Items
  • Contact Lens Care Items
  • Diabetes Care Accessories
  • Eye, Ear, Lip, Foot Bathing and Oral Care Products
  • First Aid Items
  • Vitamins and Minerals
  • Much more!

Today, they offer eligible OTC Card Members access to a free and secure online card management tool. The online portal allows patients to perform the following tasks:

  • Check on the card balance.
  • Check their transaction history.
  • View all the participating retailers.
  • Verify exactly which items are eligible by scanning the barcode when using the mobile app. Or they can search by product category, manufacturer, and product name using their online account.
