Beginning with October 1 plan effective dates, members received new ID cards with updated pharmacy information. An insert was included with instructions for members to bring their new ID card to the pharmacy on their next visit. Updated ID cards can be accessed through the member's online myblueshield account and via the Blue Shield mobile app so that they always have the most current version.
