This company focuses on making a brochure / product catalog available for a simple mail order/ home delivery system. They understand that many who participate in this type of program are elderly and have limited mobility. So instead of driving to pick up OTC medicine, they can conveniently order from home and have their items delivered to them. They also know that working with technology may not be easy for the elderly so they maintain use of an easy catalog ordering program along with phone and online ordering.

They focus on offering the following:

  • Fast & Easy Home Delivery: The Mail Order OTC Catalog Program lets members redeem their benefit from the convenience of their home, no matter where they live, even if it is in a rural area. The items are shipped out within 24-hours and most members receive their items within 3-7 business days.
  • Member Convenience: An order can be placed without ever leaving home. This easy access to over-the-counter products assists in reducing unnecessary doctor visits.
  • Lessen the amount of technology that must be used with other programs/companies: Individuals who live in rural areas generally do not have access to technology so the mail order program eliminates the need to use technology.
  • Increased Independence: The use of the program provides the opportunity of self-care for Medicare Advantage members.

They keep an eye on trends in the OTC market and then assist in determining the products that are best suited for your members. They help companies create a custom eligible and dual purpose product catalog. They will provide a new product catalog each year. It always includes a variety of CMS approved OTC products for Medicare Part C Benefit. Each year a list is provided of the top OTC products. For 2018 the top recommend products were:

  1. Acid reducer: Prilosec OTC
