InComm Partners with NationsOTC to Expand Shopping Options for OTC Network Cardholders
ATLANTA, July 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — InComm, a leading provider of payments and technology services, today announced that it has partnered with NationsOTC, a supplemental OTC benefit management provider, to expand shopping options to OTC Network® supplemental benefit and wellness incentive cardholders. The partnership will allow health plans to provide their members with additional options to purchase items using their supplemental benefits or earned rewards online, by phone or by catalog mail order, with purchased items conveniently shipped to their homes.
The restricted-spend OTC Supplemental Benefit and Incentive & Rewards Cards allow health plans to easily manage supplemental benefit and incentive spending by allowing dollars to be spent only on purchases of over-the-counter medications, health- and wellness-related products, first aid supplies, and other qualifying items as specified by the health plan. Currently, more than 270 healthcare programs offer OTC Network Supplemental Benefit and Incentive & Rewards Cards to more than four million health plan members.
Through this partnership, health plan members can expect a user-friendly experience when purchasing items online, and experienced and trained Member Experience Advisors will assist and fulfill over-the-phone and catalog mail orders. Members who prefer to continue shopping in-store at participating retailers with their OTC Network card may continue to do so.
“We’re excited about this partnership because it gives accessibility and convenience to health plan members who may be homebound or prefer to shop from home,” said Brian Parlotto, Executive Vice President at InComm. “In expanding our capabilities to receive and process purchases made through benefit and incentive spending, we will continue to provide solutions that engage both health plans and their members in cost-saving, healthy behaviors.”
“This is an exciting time for supplemental benefits in the healthcare industry, and we’re pleased to partner with InComm as we roll out our CMS-compliant OTC mail order benefits program and begin fulfilling orders for health plan members across the U.S.,” said Glenn M. Parker, M.D., Founder and CEO of NationsOTC.
