Whether you qualify depends on your health plan. FarmboxRx, which is now part of Pyx Health, works only through participating plans. The next page walks you through how to find out if yours is one of them. The benefit already reaches many U.S. states, and a lot of members have never heard of it.

🥗 What is FarmboxRx?

FarmboxRx is a nutrition program that sends boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables to members of certain health plans, such as Medicare Advantage and Medicaid. The idea is to make healthy eating easier without adding costs. Each box brings seasonal produce plus simple educational material, shipped straight to your home.

🍽️ Why fresh produce matters for your health

Eating more fruits and vegetables is one of the simplest ways to support long-term health. Diets rich in produce are linked to better blood pressure, steadier blood sugar and a healthier weight, which is why many health plans now treat food as part of care. For people managing a chronic condition, having fresh food arrive at home makes it easier to follow the eating plan their doctor recommends.

🙋 Who tends to benefit most

Seniors on a fixed income, people managing diabetes or heart conditions, and families who live far from a grocery store often get the most value from home delivery of fresh produce, because it removes both the cost and the trip.

Common questions

Who can get FarmboxRx?

People enrolled in a participating Medicaid or Medicare Advantage plan. It depends on the plan you have and the state where you live. With a few details on hand you can find out where you stand, and the next page shows you how.

Does it cost anything?

No. When your health plan covers it, FarmboxRx is a plan benefit, so you are not charged for the boxes or for delivery.

What comes in each box?

A mix of fresh fruits and vegetables that changes with the season and with what is available in your region. Some boxes also include pantry basics such as whole grains, beans or rice.

How often do boxes arrive?

That depends on your plan. Most members get a box once or twice a month, and the plan shares the delivery schedule once you are enrolled.

📦 Getting your produce box in 5 steps

1. Keep a few personal details nearby. You will need them to check if you qualify.
2. Check your area. Not every state or county takes part.
3. Expect no charge. You will not be asked for a credit card or any payment.
4. Follow the guide. The next page explains how to confirm your eligibility.
5. Receive the boxes at home. If you qualify, the food comes to your door.

Availability depends on where you live and on your plan. Checking is free and takes about two minutes.

📋 What to have ready before you check

• Your health insurance card, with your member ID
• The name of your health plan
• Your home address, including ZIP code
• A phone you can use to call member services

Having these details nearby makes the process faster, whether you call your plan or the program directly.

⚠️ Stay safe from scams

FarmboxRx is offered through health plans, so a legitimate request will never ask you to pay a fee, buy a subscription or share bank details to receive a box. If anyone asks for payment, hang up and call the number on your insurance card instead. You can always confirm a program by calling your plan directly.

🗺️ Where is it available?

FarmboxRx partners with health plans in several states, and the list keeps growing. If your plan does not offer it today, it may add it later. Many members have benefits they never use simply because nobody told them, and this could be one of them.

💡 How produce benefits fit with other help

A produce box is a health plan benefit, not cash or income, so it does not reduce programs such as SNAP or SSI. That means you can use it alongside other food help you may already receive. Some members also combine it with a grocery allowance on a Medicare Advantage card, local food pantries or senior meal programs to cover the rest of the week.

🩺 Other health benefits worth checking

• Virtual doctor visits included in some plans
• Phone support for emotional and mental health
• Gym memberships through certain Medicare plans
• Food assistance programs like SNAP
• Rides to medical appointments
