If you are a member of a Humana Medicare Advantage plan or a United Healthcare dual health plan, you may be eligible for a flex card or UCard. These cards can help you save money on essential living expenses, such as groceries, over-the-counter (OTC) products, and utility bills.

The Healthy Foods Card

The Healthy Foods Card is a Visa debit card that is loaded with a monthly allowance. The amount of the allowance varies depending on your plan. You can use the card to pay for eligible expenses, such as:

• Groceries

• Vision care

To be eligible for a Medicare healthy foods card, you must:

• Be enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan that offers the benefit.
• Have a chronic condition that is eligible for the benefit, such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure.
• Meet the income and asset requirements for the benefit.

The foods that are eligible for purchase with a Medicare healthy foods card vary by plan. However, some common eligible foods include:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables
• Lean meats and fish
• Whole grains
• Low-fat dairy products
• Beans and legumes
• Nuts and seeds
• Pantry staples, such as flour, sugar, and spices

To use a Medicare healthy foods card, you must shop at a participating retailer. When you check out, you will swipe your card and the amount of the purchase will be deducted from your allowance.
