If you enrolled or made changes to your benefits during the Annual Benefits Enrollment (ABE) period, you may receive new benefits ID cards. Review your ID cards for accuracy. If you discover errors or if by early January you do not receive all the ID cards you expected to receive, contact the plan directly. Your institution benefits contact is not able to request ID cards on your behalf.
See below for ID card information specific to each benefit plan.
STATE GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE
If you enrolled or made changes to your dependents, health plan design, or health insurance carrier, you should receive a new ID card by early January. Present your new ID card at appointments after January 1, 2023.
You may be able to obtain an ID card online through your health insurance plan carrier’s website. The website address for your health insurance plan carrier can be found in the Health Benefits Decision Guide (last page).
PHARMACY BENEFITS
If you are newly enrolled in health insurance for 2023 or added/removed dependents, you will receive an ID card from Navitus, the pharmacy benefits manager. You should receive your ID card by early January. To access your ID card online, go to www.navitus.com.
DENTAL INSURANCE
If you are newly enrolled in Uniform Dental, Preventive Dental or Supplemental Dental (Select or Select Plus), you should receive an ID card from Delta Dental by early January.
If you are currently enrolled, you will only receive a new ID card if your level of coverage changes January 1 (for example: from single to family) even if you enrolled in a different health plan for 2023.
You may obtain an ID card online at www.deltadentalwi.com/state-of-wi.
VISION INSURANCE
If you are newly enrolled in vision insurance for 2023 you will receive an ID card from the vision insurance administrator, DeltaVision/EyeMed by early January. If you are currently enrolled in 2022, you will not receive a new ID card.
You may obtain an ID card online at www.deltadentalwi.com/state-of-wi.
Note: You may not need to show your ID card at your vision appointment as most vision providers will be able to verify that you have coverage through DeltaVision/EyeMed.
ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Securian, the Accident Insurance plan administrator, does not issue ID cards. Review the Accident Insurance web page for information about how to file claims. Most claims must be filed within a specific timeframe shortly following an accident.
FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS AND HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
If you are enrolled in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or a Health Savings Account (HSA) for 2022 and already have a payment card from Optum or ConnectYourCare you may continue to use your current payment card until the expiration date. Shortly before the expiration date Optum will automatically issue you a new payment card.
If you are newly enrolled in a Health Care FSA or an HSA for 2023, you should receive a payment card from Optum by early January.
If you have money in multiple accounts (FSA, HSA, Parking), the same payment card should be used for all accounts.

- Enrolled in a Health Care FSA or an HSA, you may use your current payment card for all eligible Health Care FSA, HSA, and parking expenses.
- Not enrolled in a Health Care FSA or an HSA, Optum will send you a payment card by early January to use for eligible parking expenses.
