NationsBenefits and Save A Lot’s Partnership Enhances Healthcare Access for Health Plan Members Across the Nation.

NationsBenefits, the market leader in supplemental benefits and healthcare fintech solutions, today announced a new partnership with Save A Lot, one of the largest discount grocers in the United States. Starting December 3, 2024, members can use their NationsBenefits Benefits Mastercard® Prepaid Card* at approximately 700 Save A Lot locations to purchase approved healthy foods, groceries, pantry staples, and general wellness essentials. Save A Lot is leveraging NationsBenefits’ proprietary Basket Analyzer Service (BAS) technology in the integration, ensuring seamless customer transactions for approved products.

This initiative reflects NationsBenefits' mission to eliminate barriers to healthcare access by serving diverse and unique populations at the local and community levels.

We are thrilled to partner with Save A Lot, one of the country’s largest discount grocers.
