OTC and Grocery Benefits
Help Buying Things You Need
One of the great things about being a member of VNS Health EasyCare Plus (HMO D-SNP) or VNS Health Total (HMO D-SNP) is that your benefits include an Over-the-Counter (OTC) and Grocery Card.* Each month, we load your card with credits. You choose how to use them from the many options available.
*The grocery benefit is part of a special supplemental program for the chronically ill, and not all members qualify.
