Keeping your personal identity safe is a top priority at the university, and to that end, Human Resources has negotiated with our insurance providers, Cigna medical, Blue Cross Blue Shield Dental, and Optum Financial, to remove your social security numbers from all insurance communications and replace it with a university related ID number called your Health ID. This means that for all medical and dental transactions (at the doctor's office and speaking with the insurance providers), you will use your Health ID number instead of your social security number. This number will need to be used by your spouse or other designated person if they are authorized to speak with your insurance providers.
Health ID's are available for active employees and their dependents. Retirees should use the number on their insurance ID cards or their Social Security number.
