- You must activate your Fidelis Care OTC card before you can use it. Please call Card Services at 1-888-682-2400 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) for card activation.
- Any and all unused benefits will expire; they will NOT roll over to the next benefit period. Also, you will not be allowed to request a partial or submit multiple orders. Because of this, you will need to make sure to submit a complete order of all the items you need for the benefit period when submitting your order online or over the phone. Again, any unused balance will automatically expire at the end of each month or upon disenrollment from the plan.
- You are not allowed to order more than your allotted benefit amount. For example: if your total benefit is $10 and your order total is $10.95, you will have to delete or remove items from your order to bring the order total back down to be within the allotted benefit amount in order to submit the request. You will need to make sure that the total amount due is within your allotted monthly benefit amount.
- OTC items may only be purchased only for the enrollee, not for family members or friends.
- The OTC card is not a debit or credit card and cannot be converted to cash.
- It cannot be used to purchase Part B or Part D covered prescription drugs.
