Anthem OTC catalog

This post will give you the information you need to access the Anthem OTC catalog. That way you can use your OTC benefit. Beneficiaries can use the benefit to purchase certain non-prescription, over-the-counter items such as; vitamins, pain relievers, first aid supplies, and orthopedic support braces, as well as other items to help with minor health concerns.  You can use the benefit one time each quarter.  Any benefit that you do not use during the quarter, will not rollover to the next quarter.  If you do not use the entire OTC benefit amount for the year it will not roll over to the next calendar year.
