NORTHFIELD, Ill., Nov. 16, 2023 ~ Medline recently announced a new Food Benefit Solution, allowing Medicare Advantage and Managed Medicaid Organizations to offer locally sourced fresh produce, healthy groceries and prepared meals as an added supplemental benefit. This solution is designed to help address social determinants of health, which are environmental conditions that impact people's health, well-being and quality of life.
Amy Rogers, BSN, RN and Senior Clinical Resource Manager for Medline Nutrition said: "Access to a food benefit can help members meet their nutritional needs, encourage healthier eating habits, and manage and prevent chronic diseases. For healthcare insurance providers, Medline's Food Benefit Solution adds healthy food options to Medicare Advantage plans; an attractive 'extra' in a competitive market."
Recent research has shown that 77% of Medicare beneficiaries value receiving healthy food, with members who have access to healthy food experiencing an 11.6% reduction in healthcare service use. Through Medline's Food Benefit Solution, members can select from three food categories: Produce Boxes (vegetable only, fruit only or a combination of both), Grocery Boxes (variety boxes with prepared meals, produce and/or healthy groceries) and Prepared Foods (five, seven, ten or fourteen-meal combination boxes).
The produce is locally and regionally-sourced while the grocery options are selected for their healthy ingredients. The prepared meals are medically-tailored with no additives or fillers. In addition, produce and prepared meals are delivered in insulated boxes to ensure appropriate temperature levels during transportation and delivery.

She added that the program is an attractive cost-effective benefit which supports health equity while enhancing the member experience by building loyalty and reducing overall care costs.
