Managing your UnitedHealthcare (UHC) card balance is an important step to make the most out of your healthcare benefits. Whether you are using the UHC member ID card, a UHC Healthy Food card, or the UHC UCard, knowing how to check your balance helps you stay on top of your health and wellness expenses.

Ways to Check Your UHC Card Balance

• Go to the card or benefits section.

• You’ll see your available balance and recent transactions.

2. Using the UHC Mobile App

• Download the “UnitedHealthcare” app (available on iOS and Android).

• Sign in with your member ID and password.

• Your balance and usage history will appear on the dashboard.

3. Customer Service Helpline

• Call the number provided on the back of your UHC card.

4. In-Store at Participating Retailers

Recently, I tried checking the balance on my UHC UCard. The process was surprisingly quick:

• I opened the UHC mobile app, logged in, and immediately saw my card balance displayed on the home screen.

• The app also showed me a list of my last five transactions, so I could track what I had spent on groceries and over-the-counter items.

• The best part was that it updated instantly after I purchased it at Walmart.

This made it much easier to keep track of how much I had left without worrying about overspending.
