Alignment Healthcare partners with Instacart
Medicare Advantage company Alignment Healthcare announced an agreement with Instacart to offer co-branded MA plans in 2024, making nutritious food “more accessible” to seniors with chronic illnesses in 13 counties across California and Nevada, pending regulatory approvals.
Members with a qualifying chronic condition who enroll in one of these plans will have access to:
- $50 to $100 quarterly grocery allowances through Instacart
- A complimentary Instacart+ membership with free delivery on all orders over $35
- A live customer support line to assist members while setting up an Instacart account and placing orders
- A curated Alignment Health Virtual Storefront on Instacart where members can easily shop Alignment Healthcare’s recommended items
“We recognize seniors face unique challenges, and Instacart helps overcome barriers to access, including mobility and transportation, by delivering groceries and over-the-counter goods directly from the retailers they trust. Food and health are deeply personal, and we believe everyone should have the dignity of choice to shop for nutritious foods and essentials that meet their unique preferences, needs and budgets. Our work with Alignment is designed to give chronically ill seniors greater independence and convenience using the power of Instacart’s technology and leading consumer Marketplace.” – Sarah Mastrorocco, vice president and general manager, Instacart Health.
“Our agreement with Instacart brings nutritious food directly to the doorsteps of our chronically ill members, helping to address two of the biggest hurdles today’s seniors face. Knowing some of our members reside in food deserts, opening access to nutritious food is even more important. Instacart Health’s food access and food as medicine programs align with our strong commitment to addressing the holistic health of our seniors to drive positive health outcomes.” – Dawn Maroney, president, markets of Alignment Healthcare, and CEO of Alignment Health Plan.
