We do this while taking a holistic approach to understanding the health needs and social risk factors of those under our care. We aim to provide great care, in a sustainable way, by having a business model built around improving medical outcomes while lowering avoidable costs. While our mission is to improve every life, we particularly focus on seniors who have historically lacked access to affordable high quality healthcare. The magazine encourages members to be proactive about managing their conditions, featuring advice from clinicians, accessible healthy recipes, and tips for caregivers.Ĭlover Health (Nasdaq: CLOV) is a next-generation risk-bearing organization aiming to achieve health equity for all Americans. In an effort to address social determinants of health on multiple levels, earlier this year Clover introduced a new healthy lifestyle magazine for members, Clover Living. The card may also be used for delivery through Walmart, for OTC items enabling swift access for individuals who are homebound or have difficulty leaving the home. The grocery benefit covers grocery services, including food and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as typical drug store “Over The Counter” (OTC) items, such as ibuprofen, bandages, and vitamins. Clover will continue to add more and more participating retailers over time. Participating retailers include ACME Markets, CVS, Duane Reade, Food Lion, Kroger, Stop & Shop, Walgreens, and Walmart. This benefit isn’t just about improving nutrition––we’re addressing food insecurity in its truest form where people often have to make a hard choice between buying food, filling their prescriptions, or paying their utility bills,” said Vivek Garipalli, Clover’s Chief Executive Officer. The inspiration for a grocery stipend stems from the countless empty fridges our nurses encounter when checking on our members in their homes. “About 80% of Clover members have an underlying health condition, which means basic food access is vital to maintaining their physical and mental health. In phase two, starting October 1, 2021, members who qualify within Clover’s Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas markets will receive the combined benefit.
In phase one, beginning August 1, 2021, members who qualify within Clover's Georgia, New Jersey and South Carolina markets will receive a $20 grocery stipend in addition to a separate, existing OTC benefit. To allow for time to operationalize the enhanced benefit, Clover will pursue a phased rollout. The benefits card is easy to use and is similar to a gift card in that it has a barcode on the back which the store clerk scans upon checkout. Depending on the plan the individual is enrolled in, they will receive up to $125 in a quarterly stipend which can be used to purchase grocery items, or OTC items, at many major retailers, local supermarkets, and regional chains. The new benefit is available to eligible members in 101 counties across Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.Ĭlover members who meet certain criteria, like having an underlying health condition, such as cancer, chronic kidney disease, or hypertension, will qualify for the benefit.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., J(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Today, Clover Health (Nasdaq: CLOV) (“Clover”), an innovative technology company committed to improving health equity for America’s underserved seniors, announces that it's enhancing its current over-the-counter (OTC) benefit to include groceries.
