What is the policy number on united healthcare insurance card

Our members receive health plan ID cards that include information necessary for you to submit claims, such as the Payer ID for electronic claims submission. Information on the cards may vary by health benefit plan.

Check the member’s ID card at each visit. You may keep a copy of both sides of the ID card for your records. Having a health plan ID card is not proof of eligibility and is not considered a guarantee of benefits.
