How Medicare Advantage Plans Help Pay for Groceries

Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C, have expanded in recent years to include more lifestyle benefits, such as helping seniors with grocery expenses. These plans, offered by private insurers, often provide supplemental benefits beyond what traditional Medicare covers. Certain plans now offer a grocery benefit as part of their "healthy food" or wellness programs, designed to help beneficiaries maintain better health through proper nutrition.

The grocery benefit typically applies to individuals with chronic conditions or those who meet specific health criteria.
