Your Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance card contains all the essential information you need for using your health insurance. When you sign up for an Anthem plan, as a Medicare member, we will send you an Anthem ID card in the mail. For other types of members, we will send you an ID card unless you or your employer have already opted in to digital ID cards.
All registered members can also access your Anthem ID digitally when you download the Sydney SM Health app or log in to your Anthem account. Use this card when you go to the doctor, hospital, or pharmacy so that they can look up your insurance information.
With a digital ID card, you’ll never have to search for your member ID card because it’s always available on your mobile device or computer. Share it with your doctor over email, fax, or by download. It’s convenient, and you can be confident that your health plan information and details are always up to date.
