Costco is known as the place to go when you want bulk paper towels, produce, and snacks at a reasonable price.
But anyone who pays for a Costco membership knows that the company offers a lot more than just giant packages of household goods and food staples.
The warehouse club has steadily built a much broader business around its members, offering everything from gasoline to travel to optical services.
Now, Costco is taking another major step into an area that could become increasingly important as its customer base ages — health insurance.
The retailer is partnering with nonprofit insurer SCAN Health Plan to offer Costco-branded Medicare Advantage plans in two states, along with a Medicare supplement plan in a third state, pending regulatory approval.
