UPDATE: NationsBenefits Acquires DeliverLean

As of Sept. 21,  NationsBenefits has acquired DeliverLean, a food manufacturer specializing in health and wellness. The acquisition is part of NationsBenefits’ strategic vision to expand its healthy foods benefit offering to meet the ever-growing needs of health plans with Medicare Advantage and Part D plans.

DeliverLean’s food as medicine solution, which is being introduced with the NationsMarket brand name, will help MA plan members and low-income populations to live healthier by addressing nutrition and providing specific and actionable direction to motivate behavioral changes in their diets.

With a growing demand for home-delivered, nutritionally focused products such as groceries, fresh produce, and prepared meals, NationsBenefits can help Medicare beneficiaries achieve better health and wellness by providing them with convenient and easy-to-use products. The healthy foods benefit offering is designed to improve members’ health and satisfaction while reducing overall health care costs.

DeliverLean founder Scott Harris will continue to lead this division, as a part of NationsBenefits.

The Deliver Lean acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.

NationsBenefits provides supplemental benefits, flex cards and member engagement solutions for health plans.
