The OTC card is like a prepaid debit card provided by the insurance company. It lets you buy certain health-related items like first aid supplies, pain relievers, vitamins, and more without needing a prescription. You can use the card at participating retailers without paying out of pocket, as it's pre-loaded with funds that reset monthly or quarterly. It's a convenient way to access essential health products for the person you're caring for, without the hassle of paperwork or upfront costs.
