Most Americans on Medicaid are paying for groceries they could get for free. If you have Medicaid or Medicare Advantage, you may qualify for free monthly produce boxes delivered to your door. The program is called FarmboxRx — already used by 1M+ members across 40+ states.

Why Most People Miss This Benefit
Insurance companies are required to offer supplemental benefits like grocery assistance under federal guidelines — but they are not required to actively promote them. The result is a system where millions of eligible Americans never learn about programs they are already paying for through their premiums.
FarmboxRx currently operates in 40+ states including California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania. It partners directly with Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans to deliver USDA-compliant food boxes at no cost to the member. The program was created to address food insecurity among low-income populations, but eligibility extends to anyone enrolled in a qualifying plan.
The reason so few people know about it comes down to incentives. Insurers save money when members don’t use supplemental benefits. There is no penalty for low enrollment, and no requirement to send mailers or notifications. Unless you actively search for the benefit or a case worker tells you about it, you will likely never hear about it.
What’s Actually in the Box?
Each month, FarmboxRx delivers a curated box to your door. Contents change with the season — here’s what a typical delivery includes:
- 3-5 lbs fresh fruits — apples, oranges, berries when in season
- 3-5 lbs vegetables — carrots, broccoli, leafy greens, peppers
- Pantry staples — brown rice, whole grain pasta, canned beans
- Recipe cards with simple, healthy meal ideas
- Nutrition education materials to support long-term healthy eating
The box supplements family meals for a full week. Deliveries arrive in insulated packaging on a set schedule — you choose a delivery day that works for you, and the box shows up at your door every month without you needing to reorder.
3 Questions Everyone Asks
Do I have to pay anything?
No. The benefit is fully covered by your plan. No copay, no hidden fee, no credit card required at any point. If you qualify, you pay nothing — ever.
Will this affect my other benefits?
No. FarmboxRx does not reduce your Medicaid or Medicare coverage in any way. It is a supplemental benefit that exists on top of your existing plan. Using it has zero impact on your other medical, dental, or prescription benefits.
How long does enrollment take?
Under 2 minutes online. You enter your zip code and insurance information, and you’ll know immediately if your plan is covered. If it is, your first box ships within days.
Real Numbers: What Members Report
The average FarmboxRx delivery is valued at $50-$75 per box. That adds up to $600-$900 per year in free groceries — food you would otherwise be buying out of pocket.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Avg. box value | $50-$75/month |
| Annual savings | $600-$900/year |
| Delivery frequency | Monthly |
| Enrollment time | Under 2 minutes |
| Member satisfaction | 4.8 out of 5 |
| States covered | 40+ |
For a family of four on Medicaid, this single benefit can offset a meaningful portion of the monthly grocery bill — and most members report that the produce quality is equal to or better than what they find at their local supermarket.
More Free Benefits Through Your Plan
FarmboxRx is one of several supplemental benefits that Medicaid and Medicare Advantage members frequently miss. Depending on your plan, you may also qualify for:
- Free over-the-counter health products — vitamins, first aid supplies, pain relief
- Transportation to medical appointments — rides covered at no cost
- Vision and dental coverage — routine exams and cleanings included
- Home-delivered meals — for members recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions
- Fitness memberships — gym access through programs like SilverSneakers
- Utility assistance programs — help with heating, cooling, and electricity bills
Most of these benefits go unused for the same reason as the grocery program: insurers don’t promote them, and members don’t know to ask.
