Weis Markets adds Medicare, Medicaid payment options

Weis Markets has added the option for customers to purchase healthy foods and wellness items using Medicare and Medicaid cards.

Via a partnership with healthcare fintech company NationsBenefits Weis shoppers can now use Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and Commercial cards at more than 200 Weis Market locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia to purchase approved items.

The NationsBenefits card program enables health plans to provide members benefit funds configured and available to various programmatic requirements including over the counter, groceries, wellness items, and other services.

The integration is powered by NationsBenefits’ Basket Analyzer Service, which enables item restrictions through its integrated point-of-sale software.
