Get/Print Insurance ID Cards

You should always carry your insurance ID cards. There are two ID cards, your Aetna card, which is used for visits to doctor’s offices and hospitals, and your OptumRX card, which is used when picking up prescriptions, including medications.

ID cards are not automatically mailed to you. You must take action to get your ID cards.

• Download (and print) your Aetna ID – Download the AetnaHealthSM app to view your ID card on your mobile device after you have logged in. Through the website, select Cornell University as your school, enter your 7 digit numeric school ID number and your birthdate to view an image of your ID card (which you can print).
• Download (and print) your OptumRx pharmacy ID card – After you download your Aetna ID card:
  • Create your HealthSafeID at https://www.healthsafe-id.com/rt/register/orx/en. You will need the W+ ID number from your Aetna card to create your HealthSafeID. (See our guide for help.)
  • A HealthSafeID allows access on OptumRx's website or mobile app to your pharmacy card and management your OptumRx account. Please see the OptumRX welcome letter for more detail. *For an accommodation for this PDF, please contact studentbenefits@cornell.edu.
