Your Blue KC Member ID Card
Your Blue KC member ID card is the key to accessing your benefits. Present it at appointments, pharmacies or any time you receive care to ensure your coverage follows you wherever you go.
What you’ll need to take to an appointment
Medicare members use their Medicare card combined with a Medicare Supplement card for care and may need to present both cards at the time of care.
Your Medicare Supplement card from Blue KC may look similar to the sample card below, depending on which plan you’re enrolled in.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the important details on your card—they’re key to making the most of your coverage:
- Member ID Number – Number we use to identify you and your policy. Contains a three letter prefix, followed by your ID number. You do not need to include the prefix when providing your member ID number.
- Suffix – This number is unique for each member covered on your policy.
- Group Number – Number we use to classify members into groups, usually by the employer they receive their plan from, or a direct pay group.
- Plan Type – Describes what type of plan you have (for example, a PPO plan).
- Customer Service Phone Number – Our team is available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Central Time. We’re here to help.
- Network Name – This is the network of hospitals, doctors and other healthcare professionals that accept your Blue KC policy. It’s important that you see providers in this network to maximize the benefits of your policy.
How long does it take to receive my ID card?
If you are a new member, change plans, or request a reissue of a new card, delivery can take approximately 7-10 business days and will be delivered through USPS.
