Fidelis Care offers their members a  prepaid debit card that is automatically replenished each month.

Eligible members may use the card to purchase many common items at local pharmacies, including CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and Duane Reade, without having to submit a receipt.

The dollar benefit amount is automatically refilled up to the allotted amount each month. It is important to be aware that any unused dollars at the end of the month will not be rolled over and cannot be used in following months. Examples of what can be purchased using your pre-paid debit card are Acetaminophen (Tylenol), antacids, and topical antibiotics.  

Members who are eligible will receive an OTC card with a maximum monthly limit for purchasing approved non-prescription, over-the-counter drugs and health-related items at participating pharmacy locations.

DO YOU QUALIFY?

You will need to make sure you check your plan’s Summary of Benefits of your personal current plan to confirm if a plan offers this benefit. If it does, you must also check the plan’s specific OTC allowance frequency, as it can be either monthly or quarterly. The allowance amount varies and depends on the plan. You may call the number provided at the beginning of this article for direction.

Only some plans include a quarterly allowance. The credits can be used to pay for select over-the-counter medications and supplies, including allergy medication, digestive health treatments, first aid supplies, pain relievers, and more. If your plan includes this benefit, review your Evidence of Coverage to find your exact quarterly allowance amount.

Important Useful Tips for creating / processing / submitting your order:

  • You must activate your Fidelis Care OTC card before you can use it. Please call Card Services at 1-888-682-2400 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) for card activation.
  • Any and all unused benefits will expire; they will NOT roll over to the next benefit period. Also, you will not be allowed to request a partial or submit multiple orders. Because of this, you will need to make sure to submit a complete order of all the items you need for the benefit period when submitting your order online or over the phone. Again, any unused balance will automatically expire at the end of each month or upon disenrollment from the plan.
  • You are not allowed to order more than your allotted benefit amount. For example: if your total benefit is $10 and your order total is $10.95, you will have to delete or remove items from your order to bring the order total back down to be within the allotted benefit amount in order to submit the request. You will need to make sure that the total amount due is within your allotted monthly benefit amount.
  • OTC items may only be purchased only for the enrollee, not for family members or friends.
  • The OTC card is not a debit or credit card and cannot be converted to cash.
  • It cannot be used to purchase Part B or Part D covered prescription drugs.
