WTF?

I need to call my health insurance provider. I lost my card. I need to order a new one. When looking up a number, all I can find is "call the member services number located on the back of your card." Gee, thanks. I don't know my ID number to sign up for an online account to order a new card. You'd think the number would be out there somewhere. It's not in any of my information I have, either.

Can't you just find your carrier online and get a number and go from there?

Doesn't your DH have a card you could get the number from? Or call HR and get it from there...

that sucks, if you don't have an EOB sitting around or a bill, then call your doc office and ask them for your ID #. Plus, we copy all patient cards, so they may have a copy of it and can tell you the number on the back. Good luck!

find one of your EOB's and call the billing #, they can transfer you or give you the #.  Or try the website, there should be a zillion #'s listed for various things, try one, if wrong they again can give you the correct one or transfer you.

ETA nevermind about the online bit - call the dr office to get the info, they should have a copy of the card in charts and have it on the computers.

I have an individual policy for myself, so I'm the only one with a card. I have statements, but none have phone numbers. I found a number for dental, so I called them and was able to get a number for the health in my state. It should be easier to find, though.

Can you get it from your doctor's office or the HR department at work?

Calling the DR office never occurred to me!
