For the first time, local businesses and communities can be part of the store network that offers an OTC Benefit Program! This program expands beyond Over-the-counter (OTC) medicine but includes health foods as well. Read to the end so you don't miss out on this great business opportunity and get on the track to start receiving OTC program payments.
ย
ย ๐กย Nationally, there are 1.905 million members enrolled in healthcare plans that have this benefit and with a spending allowance between $7.5 billion and $18 billion.
ย
Before we continue, you should know what the OTC Program is.
The OTC/Health Food benefit is a health insurance benefit provided by many of your local Medicaid and Medicare insurance plans that serves the health needs of many of "your current customers". Now, for the first time, local retailers (pharmacies, grocery stores, delis, fruit markets, bodegas, etc.) can participate in these programs and have access to customers using an OTC card as a payment method โ you may have had customers come in and try to transact with a card that has an S3 logo.

With Universumโs POS, you will be able to process S3 OTC cards
One of the highlights for 2024 and all the members of the Universum family, is the function that can be enabled in the system, allowing you to receive eligible OTC (Over-The-Counter) Program payments. This is a great opportunity for your business to be part of the store network under the program, which is not only limited to over-the-counter medicine but also allows consumers to purchase food and nutrition products.
What is the benefit of purchasing food?
Food is essential to a healthy and high-quality lifestyle. Health plans have realized that making food available to members is not only an excellent consumer experience but also helps reduce overall healthcare costs. This emerging benefit means that members can purchase food, including fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meats, and grains, all of which are paid for by the health plan but purchased by the consumer.
How do I know what products are eligible?
๐กย Members participating in the S3 OTC/Food Purchase can access a mobile app that features a product scanner so they can verify if a product is eligible before making payment.
