User-friendly handheld point-of-sale terminal allows members
to easily spend benefits with independent retail partners
PLANTATION, Fla., May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- NationsBenefits, the market leader for
supplemental benefits and healthcare fintech solutions serving the
healthcare managed care market, today announced that it has
officially launched NationsBenefits POS, an all-in-one, handheld,
point-of-sale terminal that independent retailers can use to easily
transact with eligible health plan members. Retail partners will be
enabled with proprietary software to accept the NationsBenefits
Benefits Mastercard® Prepaid Card* in store, providing
partners access to Medicare Advantage networks that eliminates the
POS integration barrier.
"As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve,
NationsBenefits remains committed to empowering both our health
plan members and retail partners with advanced, innovative
solutions," said Glenn M. Parker,
M.D., Founder and CEO of NationsBenefits. "The launch of
NationsBenefits POS represents a significant step in enhancing
access to our Medicare Advantage network for independent retailers,
prioritizing convenience and accessibility to ensure a seamless
experience for all parties involved."
"At NationsBenefits, we're constantly exploring new ways to
integrate cutting-edge technology to facilitate efficient and
effective transactions for our members," said Michael Parker, COO of NationsBenefits. "With
the introduction of this new software application, we're proud to
offer retailers a state-of-the-art, hassle-free solution that we
believe will greatly improve and streamline the transaction process
while enhancing the overall customer experience."
The NationsBenefits POS handheld terminals include an Android
based operating system that delivers robust capability while
maintaining an intuitive and simple user experience. Features
include tap, dip, swipe card readers, WiFi and cellular support,
battery powered wireless capability, and an integrated thermal
printer. It also provides data privacy through industry-leading
data encryption technologies, ensuring protection for a business's
information.
"I'm thrilled to see the launch of NationsBenefits POS and truly
believe it will transform the way we conduct transactions with
Medicare Advantage members," said Robert
Thomas, owner of District Market Green Grocer in
Houston. "Parts of Houston are food deserts for a lot of
communities, but a tool like this can really allow us to better
serve our customers, offer smarter food as medicine solutions, and
ultimately provide people with access to healthier food options
that can help them eat better and feel better."
"As an advocate for smaller, independent grocers, being able to
provide a quick-and-easy user experience is so crucial to ensuring
satisfaction and building loyalty with our customers," said
Carlos Collado, owner of Fine Fare
supermarkets in the Bronx and
Harlem. "Having an app on my phone that I can use to go from lane
to lane to check out shoppers will completely revolutionize the way
we can do business with health plan members, guaranteeing a
convenient and efficient payment process every time they come to my
stores."
For retailers interested in applying for NationsBenefits POS,
NationsBenefits promises to issue the first terminal free of
charge. To learn more about NationsBenefits POS, please visit
