Which Medicare Plans Have a Grocery Benefit?

Certain Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans, a type of Medicare Advantage program, may offer a grocery allowance, including:

    Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs): Designed for people who have chronic illnesses such as diabetes or congestive heart failure.
    Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs): A special needs plan for beneficiaries who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid.

Who Is Eligible for a Grocery Allowance?

Not everyone will qualify for a Medicare grocery allowance, even if they have a Medicare Advantage plan that includes this option.

“The commercials and telemarketers make it seem like everyone qualifies," Pogue says, but the grocery allowance is usually only offered to those with special needs plans, such as D-SNPs.

If you’re not sure what you might be eligible for, it’s best to talk with a local licensed agent who can help you wade through the options to pick the best Medicare coverage.
