What is the Healthy Options allowance?

The Healthy Options allowance helps eligible Humana Medicare Advantage plan members pay for essential living expenses like eligible groceries, over-the-counter (OTC) products, utilities, rent, pet food and more to help them feel their best. It gives members more freedom and flexibility to spend their allowance.

Healthy Options allowance amounts vary by plan and location. Monthly allowances range from $35–$275 dollars ($420–$3,300 annually). The allowance is stored on the member’s Humana Spending Account Card which replaces the previous Healthy Foods Card.
