Nutritious food is vital to the healing process and can be a major factor in keeping you from having to go back to the hospital.
As a member of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Medicare Advantage, you are eligible to receive two (2) meals per day for up to 14 days, delivered to your home at no cost following a medically necessary inpatient hospital or skilled nursing facility stay. This benefit supports your post-discharge nutritional needs by providing balanced meals to help you with a successful recovery.
How it works
