NationsBenefits, a market leader in supplemental benefits and healthcare fintech solutions, today announced a new partnership with Tak Shing Hong, doing business as TS Emporium. TS Emporium is the largest provider of traditional Chinese medicine, American Ginseng, and Asian delicacies in the United States. Through this partnership, Medicare Advantage and Medicaid members can now use their NationsBenefits Benefits Mastercard® Prepaid Card* at any of TS Emporium’s five locations in the greater Los Angeles area to purchase approved healthy foods, groceries, pantry staples, and general wellness essentials. Adding TS Emporium to NationsBenefits’ retail network enables members to shop at their preferred local retailer.
Starting June 15, 2024, members can enjoy the benefits of this partnership with a seamless shopping experience at TS Emporium locations in City of Industry, Rowland Heights, Monterey Park, and San Gabriel. This initiative aligns with NationsBenefits’ mission to eliminate barriers to healthcare access by serving diverse and unique populations at the community level.
“We are thrilled to partner with TS Emporium, a staple in the Los Angeles community for over 40 years,” said Michael Parker, COO of NationsBenefits. “This collaboration not only provides members with greater access to nutritious food products and essential wellness items but also supports our goal of serving diverse communities with culturally relevant options. This partnership allows members to maximize their benefits by enabling healthier choices at the point of sale.”
“Our goal is to promote the benefits of American Ginseng, traditional Chinese medicine, and nutritious goods so everyone can enjoy healthier lives. By partnering with NationsBenefits, we can better serve the health of our community by offering far more convenient access to these essential products. We are extremely proud to join the NationsBenefits retail network to expand the reach of our products to more people, especially in supporting the local communities our stores serve,” said Caroline Jang of TS Emporium’s Media Department.
The NationsBenefits Benefits Mastercard® Prepaid Card* program equips health plan members with a personalized prepaid card that allows easy access to funds distributed monthly, quarterly, or annually to purchase eligible items and services. This initiative is part of NationsBenefits’ broader strategy to promote food as medicine, empowering members to make healthier choices and achieve better health outcomes.
