Coordinated Care Harvest Bucks
Coordinated Care Harvest BucksTM: Making fresh fruits & vegetables more accessible to members.
The fruit and vegetable prescription program is a benefit offered by Coordinated Care to members who want to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in their meals, want to try new fruits and vegetables, or are experiencing food insecurity.
Coordinated Care is partnering with the Washington State Department of Health and Safeway to offer this benefit to members.
We are the first Apple Health (Medicaid) plan in Washington to offer a food benefit to members.
