With a UCard, you can:
Pay for eligible health and wellness products.
Access your plan ID and benefits in one place.
Make payments at approved stores or pharmacies.
Check your balance and transaction history easily.
Before you can use your card, you must activate it.
Activating your UCard online is the fastest and most convenient way. Here’s how to do it:
Visit the official UCard activation website
👉 Go to [the activation page provided with your card] (e.g., www.activate.uhc.com).
Sign in or create an account
If you already have an online account, just sign in.
If you’re new, click “Register” and follow the instructions to set up your account.
Enter your UCard details
Type your UCard number and personal information as requested.
This helps confirm your identity.
