Adding your UHC Card to your mobile wallet can make everyday access to your benefits more convenient.
Instead of carrying a physical card, you can quickly show your card details on your phone at supported locations.
This guide explains how to add a UHC Card to a mobile wallet, which devices may support it, and important limitations you should know before relying on a mobile wallet.
In some cases, yes, a UHC Card can be added to a mobile wallet—but availability depends on:
Your specific UHC plan
The type of UHC Card issued
Device and wallet compatibility
Mobile wallet support is managed under plans provided by UnitedHealthcare and may not be available for all members.
Before attempting to add your card to a mobile wallet, make sure you have:
A compatible smartphone
The official UHC mobile app installed
An active UHC account
A supported mobile wallet app (if available for your plan)
Your card must be active before it can be added.
⚠️ Note: Not all UHC Cards support direct mobile wallet integration. Follow these steps only if your plan offers this option.
Launch the official UHC app on your smartphone and log in to your account.
Navigate to:
Card
Digital Card
ID Card
Menu names may vary depending on app version and plan.
If supported, you may see an option such as:
Add to Mobile Wallet
Add to Wallet
Save to Phone
If this option is not visible, your plan may not support wallet integration.
Confirm your identity and follow the prompts to add the card to your phone’s wallet.
Once completed, the card should appear in your mobile wallet.
If added successfully, you may be able to:
Display your card quickly at supported locations
Show card details without opening the UHC app
Access card information even faster
Acceptance depends on location and system support.
Mobile wallet usage may not work if:
The location does not accept digital cards
The wallet feature is not supported by your plan

In these cases, using the UHC app or physical card is recommended.
