Qualifying members of Humana’s Medicare Advantage Dual Eligible
Special Needs Plans (D-SNP) may have access to a monthly food card
allowance which can assist them in purchasing food and beverages at
a variety of well-known, national stores that now includes H Mart.
These individuals, who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, also
known as dual-eligible individuals, can use the Humana Healthy
Foods Card at over 70 H Mart stores across the US. Once activated,
the Card’s bar code can be scanned similar to a UPC code on a
savings card. Members can purchase qualifying items – such as milk,
eggs, bread, juices, waters, yogurts, fruits, vegetables and more –
with the available balance on the member’s card, depending on
location, of up to $75.
“At Humana, it’s important for us to offer qualifying members of
our Medicare Advantage D-SNP plans, low-cost access to healthy food
and we’re pleased to connect our members with food that stimulates
their spirit and matches their cultural traditions,” said Julie
Mascari, Regional President of Medicare for Humana’s Northeast
Region. “By adding H Mart to our Healthy Foods Savings card, we’ll
be introducing a broader variety of ingredients and nutrition to
our members’ diets including some of the brands they prefer.”
Like Humana, H Mart is committed to supporting the communities
it serves and that support includes helping people with Medicare
achieve their best health. H Mart is always striving for the
highest level of service and will continue to work hard to gain
customer satisfaction.
“H Mart has always aimed to support the development of the
communities, especially our seniors, in our stores. We seek to
build business relationships with companies that share our values
and dedication,” said Brian Kwon, H Mart’s President. “Humana is a
customer service leader because they go beyond health care to
provide human care. Their recognition that food can be
transformative to both health and happiness makes them a natural
partner in the pursuit of healthier communities.”
As of March 15, 2021, Humana members with the Healthy Foods Card
benefit on their plan, can use it at over 70 H Mart stores. H
Mart’s affiliates and franchise locations will be in the second
phase after the initial launch.
