A number of the Simple Healthcare Medicare Plans provide extra benefits and amenities that are not covered under normal Medicare.  These are services like dental, eyewear, and hearing aids.  An additional benefit that is inclusive in it is a monthly allowance available for over the counter (OTC) medications and supplies.  You may contact the company directly if you wish to find out the exact amount that is available for you.

It would be great to know if your Simply Healthcare plan is inclusive of a quarterly allowance which you may use if you need to purchase a few over-the-counter medicines and supplies like digestive health treatments, allergy medication, pain relievers, first aid supplies, and many more.  If this is available in your benefit, you may refer to your Evidence of Coverage to know about your quarterly allowance.
