UCard Activation | Medicare UCard – UnitedHealthcare

If you've received your new Medicare UCard from UnitedHealthcare, congratulations! This card is more than just a health insurance ID—it gives you access to a wide range of benefits and services. But before you can start using it, there’s one important step: activating your UCard.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to activate your UnitedHealthcare Medicare UCard quickly and easily.

The UCard is a convenient all-in-one member ID card provided to eligible UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plan members. It combines your health plan ID, prescription drug coverage, and often even access to added benefits like:

• Over-the-counter (OTC) product allowances

• Healthy food benefits

• Gym memberships

• Transportation services (in some plans)

Everything you need is in one card, making it easier to manage your healthcare.

Activating your UCard ensures your benefits are available and ready to use. Without activation, some features—like using your OTC or healthy food credits—may not work properly.

You can activate your UCard in two simple ways:

• Go to the activate.uhc.com website.

• Enter your UCard details as requested (usually your UCard number and birthdate)

• Follow the on-screen prompts to complete activation

• Call the UCard Activation Line at the number provided with your card (often found on the sticker attached to your new card)

• Follow the automated instructions, or speak with a representative if needed

This process usually takes just a few minutes, and your card will be ready to use immediately after.

Activating your UnitedHealthcare UCard is a quick and easy step that unlocks a world of benefits designed to support your health and wellness. Whether you’re shopping for OTC items, checking into the gym, or heading to a doctor’s appointment, the UCard keeps everything in one place.

If you haven’t activated your card yet, don’t wait—take a few minutes today and get started!
