2020 Medica ID Cards – Coming Soon

Check your mailbox for your new Medica ID card. All members with pharmacy benefits through Medica will get a new ID card for 2020. As a friendly reminder, we’re transitioning to Express Scripts® on Jan. 1, 2020 to manage your pharmacy benefits. To learn more about the pharmacy changes, visit medica.com/RxChanges.

Use your new ID card every time you receive services at clinics, hospitals, or pharmacies, or when you need emergency care. Also, show your new ID card at your health club (if you participate in Fit Choices℠, Medica’s health club reimbursement program). 

If your Medica group or policy number changes when you renew your coverage, you will also need to re-register on mymedica.com once your new plan starts. In most cases, you will get a new group or policy number if you change plans. Not sure if your group or policy number is changing? Just compare the numbers on your current ID card with your new ID card.

After your group or policy number changes, you can still access most of your previous health plan information for up to 18 months after your coverage ends. Just log in to mymedica.com using your previous account information. 

This Month's Articles

Mindfulness and Holiday Stress
Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present, aware of where you are and what you’re doing, without being overly reactive or overwhelmed with what’s going on around you. Practicing mindfulness doesn’t have to be hard. You just need to remember to do it, especially during the holiday season. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the stress of the holidays and not take time for ourselves.

Discover how being mindful is good for the mind, body and soul

The Power of Community – Medica’s Year in Review
Earlier this year, we released the annual “Power of Community” report highlighting our commitment to social responsibility and employee engagement. “We have a deep commitment to our employees, many choosing to work at Medica because they want to work for a company that values corporate citizenship,” said Christine Finn, Vice President of Marketing and Communications and executive sponsor of Medica’s volunteer program.

FSA Money – Use it or lose it
If you have a flexible spending account (FSA), remember to use those dollars before the deadline. For many people that’s Dec. 31, but some employers allow their employees to carry over up to $500 from one year to the next. Or they may allow employees to roll over their entire unused balance to pay for medical expenses incurred during the first 2½ months of the next plan year. Check with your employer to see whether they allow these options.

For a list of eligible FSA expenses, see IRS Publication 502.
