New retail integration enables item-level verification, allowing eligible health plan members to use their benefit cards at more than 600 Costco locations.
PLANTATION, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#NationsBenefits—NationsBenefits, the leading healthcare fintech and benefit outcomes company, today announced a nationwide retail integration with Costco Wholesale to roll out its proprietary Basket Adjudication Service (BAS). Through this integration, health plan members with a NationsBenefits Flex Card can now redeem their benefits at more than 600 participating Costco Wholesale warehouses across the United States.
NationsBenefits’ BAS technology enables real-time, item-level benefit verification directly at checkout. By instantly identifying eligible over-the-counter (OTC), healthy food, and wellness items at the point of sale, the platform eliminates manual paperwork, claim forms, and out-of-pocket reimbursement waiting periods.
“Closing the gap between healthcare benefits and daily living requires removing friction at checkout,” said Michael Parker, Co-CEO of NationsBenefits. “Our Basket Adjudication Service validates eligible items in milliseconds, giving members uninterrupted access to health products right where they already shop. By bridging everyday grocery habits with personalized health benefits, we help health plans support their members with proactive, whole-person care.”
Connecting Retail Commerce to Member Health
As healthcare organizations continue their focus on helping members live healthier lives based on their unique needs and preferences, everyday retail stores are now essential destinations where members take control of their health. By making eligible products instantly recognizable at checkout, health plans help members get the full value of their health and grocery allowances without extra steps.
The NationsBenefits BAS platform bridges this gap by connecting health plan allowances directly to retail point-of-sale systems. Whether members are purchasing clinical OTC items or fresh, nutritious groceries, the card automatically sorts out which items are covered and applies the right benefit dollars in a single transaction.
This frictionless retail integration gives health plans a direct path to higher member satisfaction, stronger quality measures, and lasting engagement with daily preventive care.
