Coordinated Care Harvest Bucks

New Benefit: fruit & vegetable prescription program (launched in 2021)

The fruit and vegetable prescription program is a new 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 new benefit to members.

We are the only Apple Health (Medicaid) plan in Washington to offer a food related benefit to members.
