Accessing Your Virtual ID Card
Your Virtual ID card contains key information about your Health & Wellness Benefit Plan and is required when you need care or a prescription at the pharmacy. Your Virtual ID card is always available on your mobile device or computer, and it works the same as a physical card. Use it when you schedule an appointment or visit a Network Provider. When you access your Virtual ID card, you can be confident you’re seeing your current Benefit Plan details.
Never search for your ID card again.
Some items go everywhere with us. Our phones, keys, driver’s licenses and credit cards are kept at our fingertips at all times. It’s easy to see why. Those items are unique to each of us, and provide access to the things we need. When it comes to healthcare, that item is your Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi (BCBSMS) Virtual ID card. We make it easier for you by providing a Virtual ID card that can be shared straight from the myBlue mobile app or the myBlue Member portal.

- Network Benefits – Your network benefits help you easily locate your copay amounts for certain healthcare Providers.
- Plan Code – Your Network Provider uses this code when seeking information about the benefits in your healthcare plan.
