The Aetna Medicare Extra Benefits Card may be offered on Aetna Medicare plans. The card has one or more “wallets” that include a benefit amount (allowance) to help cover certain everyday expenses. For example, if your plan includes an Over-the-Counter (OTC) Wallet, you can buy things like approved OTC health and wellness products. Your allowance amount — and where you can use your card — is determined by your plan. Be sure to check your plan information to learn how to use your Aetna Medicare Extra Benefits Card.
