UC continues to work with health and welfare benefit plans to provide an alternate identification number for those who do not wish to use their social security number for identification purposes. Delta Dental and PMI Dental are the most recent plans to offer alternate identification numbers to UC members. (All medical plans already offer alternate IDs.)
The alternate identification number can be used for the following purposes:
- Give it to Delta and PMI Dental providers for the purposes of verifying your benefit eligibility and coverage levels.
- Provide it to Delta/PMI Dental telephone customer service representatives in lieu of a social security number to confirm your identity
Identification cards list the employee/retiree's name and the card can be used by the employee/retiree and all eligible family members.
Viewing your ID
To view your alternate ID online or print a copy of an ID card, log on to the Delta Dental or PMI website. You can also contact a Delta Dental or PMI Customer Service Representative who can tell you your alternate ID over the phone. You will be required to provide the representative with your social security number for verification purposes to obtain your alternate ID number by telephone.
If you are a first time user of the Delta Dental or PMI website, you will be required to enter your social security number once for verification purposes to create a username and password. Any future visits will require only your username and password to access the site. In addition to being able to view your alternate ID, the Delta and PMI websites offer you access to personal benefits and eligibility information. The Delta Dental website also offers claim status, online directories, online help and other member resources.
