Do You Need An Insurance Card?
If you have enrolled in the International Student Health Insurance Plan (ISHIP) but have not received your LifeWise insurance card, follow the steps below:
- Make sure that your local mailing address is correct on your MYUW account. This address must be in the U.S. for you to properly receive your LifeWise insurance card and documents from LifeWise.
- Call LifeWise customer service at 1-800-971-1491 to request LifeWise insurance card.
- Press 1 for member services
- Provide your 7-digit student number when prompted
- Ask a representative for your member ID number and request that they send you an insurance card to your local address.
- Verify that the representative has your correct local address.
- It will typically take 3-5 business days to receive your LifeWise insurance card.
- You may use your member ID number immediately on the LifeWise Portal to create your account and print off a temporary insurance card to use if you need to see a doctor.
