How to Activate your UnitedHealthcare UCard at Activate.uhc.com?

If you’ve recently received your UnitedHealthcare UCard, the next important step is to activate it. Activating your UCard allows you to start using your healthcare benefits, rewards, and services immediately. The easiest way to do this is online through activate.uhc.com — the official UnitedHealthcare activation portal.

What is the UnitedHealthcare UCard?

The UnitedHealthcare UCard is your all-in-one member ID and benefits card. It combines multiple healthcare features into a single card, allowing you to:

• Access your medical benefits.

• Pay for approved health and wellness products.

• Earn and redeem rewards for healthy living.

• Use it as your member ID during doctor visits or pharmacy transactions.

Before you can start using these features, you must activate your card.
