Alleviating Food Insecurity: InComm’s Healthy Foods Benefit Card
Addressing the Crisis of Food Insecurity
Despite remarkable progress and technological advancement, the disconcerting truth remains that food insecurity continues to surge across our nation.
Over 48 million people face daily hunger.*
That’s about twice the population of Texas! We can impact this number by making food accessible to all. To help combat food insecurity, InComm Healthcare proudly introduces the Healthy Foods Benefit Card. This revolutionary card not only streamlines the grocery shopping experience but also makes proactive strides toward preventing food insecurity.
InComm’s restricted-spend technology allows health plans to add funds to prepaid cards to be spent on CMS-approved items, including groceries. Members can shop in 68,000+ retail locations, online, and grocery and farmers markets.

The West Virginia Health Network uses InComm’s restricted-spend technology for a program created for 350 members. Their members received prepaid cards with benefit fund amounts ranging in $75-$175. The cards were accepted at a top retailer where members shopped, and eligible items were deducted at checkout.
