To activate your UnitedHealthcare UCard, visit the official activation website at Activate.UHC.com. Enter your UCard information, which includes your card number, member ID, date of birth, and any other requested personal details.
UnitedHealthcare has a few ways to activate your card, especially if you received the new all-in-one UCard.
Here are the three easiest ways to activate your UnitedHealthcare card:
1. 💻 Activate Online (Recommended for UCard)
The fastest way to activate your card is usually through the dedicated website.
-
Website: Go to activate.uhc.com
-
Process:
-
Enter the required member details, which typically include your member ID, date of birth, and ZIP code.
-
You may be prompted to set a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to secure the card’s spending balances (like OTC or Healthy Food credits).
-
Follow the on-screen steps to complete the activation.
-
2. 📞 Activate by Phone
If you prefer to speak to an automated system or a representative, you can call the number provided on the card itself or in the accompanying letter.
-
General Activation Line: Call 1-866-757-1864 (TTY: 711)
-
Alternative: The best number is always the toll-free number printed on the back of your specific ID card (or the letter it came with), as this connects you directly to the customer service team for your plan.

3. 📱 Use the UnitedHealthcare Mobile App
If you have a smartphone, you can often activate your card and manage your benefits through the mobile app.
-
App: Download the UnitedHealthcare App.
-
Process: Sign in or register your member account, and look for an option to View UCard or Activate Card within the app interface.
Important Note about the UCard:
For UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage members, your UCard serves as your all-in-one Member ID for doctors and pharmacies, and it also holds your plan’s benefit credits (like OTC, Healthy Foods, or Rewards).
-
You must activate the UCard to use the spending balances (like OTC or rewards).
-
However, your UCard does not need to be activated to use it for medical visits or to fill prescriptions (it acts as your basic ID card immediately).
