How To: Print a Temporary ID Cards

Via Anthem Blue Cross–If you have not yet received your permanent ID card and want to access health care services, you can print a temporary ID card online through anthem.com/ca.

It’s a simple four-step process:

  1. Before starting, check with your employer to confirm your information has been added into Anthem’s system. Your name, date of birth and ZIP code must match exactly what is on file with Anthem.
  2. Go to anthem.com/ca, click Members in the top-left corner and log in to the secure Member site. If you have not visited this site before, on “Register.” When you are asked for a member ID number during online registration, you may use your Social Security number if you do not yet have a member ID number.
  3. Select the “Print Temporary ID Card” option under “Things You Can Do” and follow the instructions on how to create and print the temporary ID card.
  4. You can print the ID card using your own printer and use the card at your next doctor’s appointment.

Your temporary ID card expires 30 days after its issue date and is not meant to replace your permanent ID card, which you will still receive. Take a look at a sample below.

Note: The temporary ID card may not include all of your benefit information. If you have any questions, a Customer Service number is on the temporary ID card.
