Medical ID Card Swipe Technology

UnitedHealthcare members carry advanced magnetic stripe ID Cards which can greatly reduce transaction errors by minimizing the hand-keying of member information on most “enrollee number” searches – including Eligibility & Benefits and Personal Health Record.  Just select “Card Swipe” as your search method and swipe the member’s ID card.  

To begin using this new feature, you will need a keyboard emulator magnetic stripe card reader that plugs into your computer (little to no set-up and no software required).  

UnitedHealthcare has arranged a discounted purchase price for our network physicians and health care professionals through a preferred distributor - Bayscan Technologies.  Current price for a reader is $55, including shipping (taxes may be applicable).  To order your discount card reader(s) through BayScan Technologies, call the number or visit the Web site below. 

Important: To receive the special discounted price, be sure to indicate that you are part of the UnitedHealthcare Network and supply your TIN when ordering.
