✅ How to find out if you qualify

• Call the member services number on your insurance card and ask whether your plan offers FarmboxRx produce boxes. FarmboxRx is now part of Pyx Health.
• Or call Pyx Health directly at 1-855-499-4777, Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm.
• If your plan takes part, they will explain how to start receiving boxes at no cost.

📦 Your 5-step checklist

1. Confirm your plan. FarmboxRx works through participating Medicaid and some Medicare Advantage plans.
2. Check your area. Your plan will tell you if the program covers your state and county.
3. Have your insurance card ready. It shows your member number and your plan's phone number.
4. Call your plan or Pyx Health at 1-855-499-4777, Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm.
5. Receive your boxes. If your plan takes part, they will explain how to get them at no cost.

Availability depends on where you live and on your plan.

📞 What to ask when you call

When you reach member services, being specific saves time. Ask whether your plan includes a produce or food delivery benefit through FarmboxRx or Pyx Health, whether you need a referral or a specific health condition to qualify, and how often boxes would be delivered to your address. Write down the name of the person you spoke with and the date of the call, so it is easy to follow up if you need to.

❓ Not eligible yet?

That is fine. FarmboxRx keeps adding health plans, so it is worth asking again later. You can also ask your doctor's office or your plan whether the benefit has reached your area.

Why produce benefits matter

Getting fresh fruits and vegetables is still hard for millions of U.S. households, especially those living on a fixed income or relying on public health coverage. Produce benefits such as FarmboxRx were created to close that gap, treating good nutrition as part of health care rather than an extra. When food is delivered home, transportation, cost and time stop being obstacles.

Health plans that fund produce delivery report that members who get regular boxes tend to manage conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure better. That is one reason more Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans are paying for these benefits: healthier members need fewer costly visits. If you have not asked whether your plan includes it, a short call is all it takes.

🥦 Tips to make the most of your boxes

• Plan two or three simple meals as soon as a box arrives, starting with the items that spoil fastest, such as leafy greens and berries.
• Store potatoes, onions and carrots in a cool, dark place so they last longer.
• Use the recipe cards that come with each box to try new dishes without buying many extra ingredients.
• If you get more than you can eat, wash, chop and freeze vegetables for soups and stir fries later.
• Keep your address and phone number up to date with your plan so no delivery is missed.

If FarmboxRx is not available to you yet, local food banks, farmers market programs that accept SNAP and senior meal programs can also help stretch your grocery budget.

Frequently asked questions

Will the boxes affect my other benefits?

No. The boxes are a health plan benefit, not cash or income, so they do not count against programs such as SNAP or SSI.

How often will I get a box?

It depends on your plan and the level of benefit you qualify for. Most members receive one box a month, and some plans send boxes more often based on health needs.

Can I pick what goes in the box?

Some plans allow a few choices, while others send a standard seasonal box. Either way, the items are fresh and selected for balanced nutrition.

What if I move or change plans?

Let your health plan know as soon as anything changes so it can review your deliveries and eligibility without interruption.

Are there hidden fees?

No. If your plan covers the benefit, there is nothing to pay, and you will never be asked for a credit card to receive your box.
