Your Member ID Card

You might take your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) member ID card for granted from time to time, but don’t forget it has wealth of information you need. Your card provides:

• Your member ID number
• Your group number (if you're part of an employer health plan)
• The dates of your health coverage
• Your plan type
• Details on services you may have, such as vision, dental or prescription drug benefits
• Phone numbers you, your doctors and other health care providers will find helpful – including numbers to call and verify your coverage before your appointments
• Information your doctor, clinic and hospital needs

Digital ID Cards

As a member, you can pull up your digital member ID card on your phone or other mobile device.

Your digital member ID card is always up-to-date and lets you securely verify your BCBSTX coverage with your doctor. You can find it in our BCBSTX mobile app, or by logging in.

Here's How It Works

Using your digital member ID card at your doctor’s office is quick and easy:

Step 1. Log in to the BCBSTX mobile app.

Step 2. On the dashboard, tap the Member ID Card icon.

Step 3. That’s it. You’re now looking at your digital member ID card.

Step 4. Tap on the share icon in the top right corner of your screen and select “Share Verification of Coverage.” This will open an email window that you can send directly to your doctor’s office

Another Useful Option

Download your digital member ID card to your mobile device’s wallet.* With this option, you can always access it, even if you don’t have good reception or an internet connection. To share from the mobile wallet, tap the share icon.

When you download the BCBSTX Mobile App or add your digital member ID card to your device’s mobile wallet*, there’s no need to wait for a physical card to come in the mail. Access is always at your fingertips.

*Feature only available for iOS

Lost Your Card?

You can print a temporary ID card and request additional cards through your Blue Access for Members SM (BAM SM ) account. You will need your member identification number and group number to log in.
