A new benefits plan year may mean new insurance cards. To see if you should be receiving new ones, check the list below.
Cards are mailed to members from the provider. To see the status of your cards or to request additional ones, contact the provider directly; contact information for all vendors is available on the Benefits & Worklife website. Membership cards also can be uploaded from most provider websites.
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield PPO, CareFirst BCBS High-Deductible Health Plan, BlueChoice HMO (BU only), Kaiser Permanente HMO
Cards will be sent only to new participants and existing members who made changes.
EHP
Due to the company's new claim system, EHP's current members received new ID cards at the end of November. (For more information, see EHP Member ID Cards Get an Upgrade—Johns Hopkins Employer Health Programs). Cards for 2023 will be sent to only new participants and existing members who made changes.
Express Scripts prescriptions
Only newly enrolled members or members with name changes will receive new ID cards. All others can continue to use their current card.

Cards will be sent only to new EyeMed participants. ID cards are not needed to receive services (members will need to supply their name and date of birth to the provider). Members also can download the EyeMed app, which holds a copy of the ID card.
WEX health care flexible spending account reimbursement card
Cards will be sent to those who newly elected a health care or limited purpose flexible spending account for 2023, and to existing members whose cards have expired; the expiration date (generally on a four-year cycle) is indicated on the card. Note that the card always pulls funds from the current plan year, so starting on Jan. 1, 2023, the card will pull only from 2023 funds. To use funds from your 2022 account before carryover has occurred, you must pay for the eligible expense out of pocket and request reimbursement.
WEX health savings account reimbursement card
A WEX debit card will be sent only to new participants, making it easy to access HSA funds to pay for qualifying medical, dental, and vision expenses.
