Members of participating health plans can now use supplemental benefit funds to pay for Uber Eats grocery and healthy meal deliveries, in addition to rides with Uber
ATLANTA, Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — InComm Payments, a leading payments technology company, today announced that its InComm Healthcare business unit has partnered with Uber Health to launch a benefit program for health plans, enabling members to order meal and grocery deliveries on the Uber Eats app using plan-sponsored funds. As an expansion of the company’s transportation benefit program, this new offering empowers health plans with more ways to increase member engagement and address social determinants of health (SDOH).
“Food insecurity and access to affordable healthcare are top of mind for health plans seeking ways to improve member health,” said Dave Etling, Senior Vice President and General Manager at InComm Healthcare. “Uber Health is at the forefront of providing services to address both of these concerns, particularly in communities where transportation gaps make it difficult to reach a pharmacy or grocery store. By combining Uber’s expertise, scale and reliability with our healthcare payments technology, health plan members can access the stores they need to live healthy lives.”
Members of participating health plans can use the Uber Eats app to order groceries or over-the-counter (OTC) items and pay for purchases using plan-sponsored funds on their Dual Network Benefit Card™.
“Through our existing collaboration and new expansion, plan members can now enjoy greater access to a variety of high-value ancillary benefits: rides, groceries and over-the-counter item delivery,” said Zachary Clark, Global Head of Uber Health. “Together, we’re making it easy and convenient to understand and use benefits like these. This represents a major milestone in helping drive better health outcomes.”
Uber Health is designed to make accessing and utilizing ancillary benefits, such as rides and same-day delivery of grocery items, simple to understand and even easier to use. This is key because social determinants of health, including transportation and nutrition, play an important role in determining overall health outcomes. By empowering members to utilize the full extent of their benefits – across transportation, as well as grocery and over-the-counter item delivery – Uber Health’s platform helps address health-related social needs and plug the gaps to improve care delivery.
InComm Healthcare’s Dual Network Benefit Card gives Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and other health plans the ability to easily add more than one supplemental benefit, reward, or healthy foods program to a single member card. Cardholders can use these benefit funds on purchases that are configured to the health plan’s program requirements, which may include select OTC medicines, wellness items, groceries, and more. The cards are loaded with more than $3.5 billion in supplemental benefit funds annually and are accepted at more than 70,000 retail locations in the OTC Network.
