How to find your health plan ID card online

Stanford medical plan providers make it easy for you to download and print your card digitally.

At this time of year, many of you often ask if you'll be getting a new health plan ID card, especially if you change plans for the new plan year starting Jan. 1. 

Most medical plans no longer issue new cards every year (and our dental and vision plans do not provide ID cards at all), although some still issue a card for new members. In any case, knowing how to access your plan information digitally is important, especially if you need services or prescriptions when you don't have it in hand.

Kaiser

If you elected Kaiser or added dependents during Open Enrollment, Kaiser will send you a new member card in January. Note that while Kaiser is still producing physical cards, they are moving away from cards with embossed lettering to cards that are flat and laminated. All members will be able to access their new cards digitally through the Kaiser mobile app by Jan. 1.
