2024 Benefits ID Cards
December 15, 2023

If you enrolled or made changes to your benefits during the Annual Benefits Enrollment (ABE) period, you may receive new benefits ID cards.

Review your ID cards for accuracy. If you discover errors or if by early January you do not receive all the ID cards you expected to receive, contact your insurance carrier directly. Your benefits contact is not able to request ID cards on your behalf.

See below for ID card information specific to each benefit plan.

STATE GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE
If you are enrolled in State Group Health Insurance for 2024, you should receive a new ID card by early January.

You may be able to obtain an ID card online through your health insurance carrier’s website. The website address for your health insurance carrier can be found on the last page of the Health Benefits Decision Guide.

PHARMACY BENEFITS
If you are newly enrolled in health insurance for 2024 or added/removed dependents, you will receive an ID card from Navitus, the pharmacy benefits manager. You should receive your ID card by early January. To access your ID card online, go to www.navitus.com.
