Medical ID cards go digital in 2021
In October, we expanded our Go Paperless initiative by offering digital medical ID cards for members who opt in for paperless electronic communication. Digital medical ID cards contain the most up-to-date information and are easily accessible at blueshieldca.com. Members can also use their mobile device to download the Blue Shield of California mobile app on the App StoreSM or Google PlayTM.
- The impacted members include:
- All off-exchange applicants who applied in 2020 and 2021
- All members on autopay
- All members who have registered for Teladoc
- Members who opted into electronic delivery between 2018 and October 2020 received digital medical ID card effective January 1, 2021. Members can access their medical ID cards for individuals and the family through the online portal whether they opted for paperless or not.
- Members who selected paper delivery as their preference for medical ID card continue to receive printed medical ID cards.
- Dental and vision products: new and existing members continue to receive printed ID cards for dental plans through the dental carrier. For vision plans, members do not need ID cards and can have providers confirm through mesvision.com/providers or call (800) 877-6372.
- Members who would like a printed medical ID card may request through the Blue Shield member portal at their convenience.
