Medicare meal and produce delivery benefits for seniors

Available to eligible HealthPartners Medicare Advantage and MSHO (HMO SNP) plan members

Good nutrition is important for better health. Many HealthPartners Medicare Advantage plans and our Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO) plan make it easier for our members to get the healthy food they need.

Qualifying HealthPartners Medicare Advantage members: Home-delivered meals from Mom’s Meals®

Sitting at their dining room table, an older woman holds a cup of coffee while smiling at her laughing older husband as they both eat breakfast.

Many of our Medicare Advantage plans include the HealthPartners Choice Card. The Choice Card is our version of a Medicare flex card. After an inpatient hospital stay or a skilled nursing facility (SNF) stay, you can use your Choice Card for meals from Mom’s Meals. These fully prepared, home-delivered meals can make the transition home easier after you’ve been away.

Qualifying HealthPartners MSHO members: Fresh produce allowance

Standing at her kitchen counter, an older woman slices a tomato on a cutting board with sprigs of cilantro and an avocado nearby.

Fresh food can help people with chronic conditions enjoy a healthier diet. Eligible HealthPartners MSHO plan members can get a monthly voucher-based food benefit allowance of $50 through our Fruits and Veggies Rx program. You can spend your allowance on fresh produce at participating grocery stores. You’ll choose the fruits and vegetables you’d like to get.

If you’re a HealthPartners MSHO plan member, contact your MSHO care coordinator to get started. If you need help or have additional questions, contact Member Services.

MSHO fresh produce allowance eligibility requirements

The fresh produce allowance benefit is part of special supplemental benefits for members with certain chronic conditions, such as heart failure, dementia, diabetes, cancer or a disabling mental health condition. Not all members will qualify, and all applicable eligibility requirements must be met. For details and a complete list of eligible conditions, please contact us.
