There are some items you should carry with you every time you see your doctor or go to the pharmacy: your HUSKY Health Member ID card and your gray EBT ConneCT card. It might also be helpful to your doctor for you to have a list of your medications. Other cards that may be important to carry with you are listed below.
You will receive your HUSKY Health Member ID card in the mail. Your name, ID number, and the name of your HUSKY Health member program (A, B, C, D, or LB) are on your ID card. If your HUSKY Health Member ID card has been lost, stolen, or damaged please call Member Engagement Services at 1.800.859.9889 to ask for a new one. You can also send us a secure member email by clicking here and requesting a new one.
You will receive your gray Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) ConneCT card in the mail from DSS. If you didn’t get one, call DSS at 1.855.626.6632. If your EBT ConneCT card is lost or stolen, you need to cancel it immediately to prevent anyone from accessing your benefits. You can do this by either logging into the client website by clicking here or by calling the EBT Customer Service line at 1.888.328.2666. Follow the instructions/prompts for reporting a lost, stolen, or damaged EBT card. DSS recommends changing your PIN once a month, especially right before your benefits are to be added to your card.
Use the My Medication Card to keep track of your medications including your dosages and how often you take them. Bring this list of medicines with you when you see your doctor.
Use the Know Your Numbers Card to help keep track of important health numbers including your blood pressure, cholesterol and weight.
If your provider or your provider’s answering service is not available, HUSKY Health provides access to Registered Nurses 24/7. Call 1.800.859.9889 and follow the prompts to reach a Registered Nurse.
Diagnostic imaging lets providers see the inside of your body. It helps them find diseases, injuries, and other issues that they can’t see from the outside. These scans are very helpful, but they also have a drawback: they expose you to radiation. A single test won’t cause damage, but many tests can raise your risk for cancer. If you have had several imaging tests in the past, talk to your provider. You may want to keep a list of tests you have had. To help you keep track of these, you can use the "Medical Imaging History" card. Fill out the card and show it to your provider at your visits.
