How to Use Your Digital Member ID Card

Your phone does a lot more than text and make calls these days. It’s a safe place to keep important parts of your life. You can store photos of people you love and use it to pay for things. You can also use it to see your health insurance benefits. With a digital member ID card, your coverage and benefits information is easy to find when you need it.

Your digital member ID card is always up to date and lets you securely verify your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana coverage with your doctor. You can find it in our BCBSMT App, or by logging into your member account online. Viewing your member ID card is then just one click away.

Here's How It Works

Using your digital member ID card at your doctor’s office is quick and easy:

Step 1. Log into the BCBSMT App.

Step 2. On the dashboard, tap View ID Card.

Step 3. That’s it! You’re now looking at your digital member ID card.

Step 4. Tap on the share icon in the top right corner of your screen and select Share ID Card. This will open a window where you can choose to email or message images of the card directly to your doctor’s office.

If you have an iOS mobile device, another useful option lets you download your digital member ID card to your mobile device’s wallet.* With this option, you can always access it, even if you don’t have good reception or an internet connection. To share from the mobile wallet, tap the share icon.*

When you download the BCBSMT App or add your digital member ID card to your device’s mobile wallet*, there’s no need to wait for a physical card to come in the mail. Access is always at your fingertips.
