ID Cards
for Grad Employees & Postdocs
Once you receive your enrollment confirmation email, be aware that you can use your coverage without an ID. To do this, you need to give your provider the following:
For Grad Employees:
Altus Member ID: unique 9 digit identifier you can find on your dashboard
Altus Group #: 3001-0002
EyeMed Member ID: your UMass student ID+0
EyeMed Group #: 9794348
For Postdocs:
Altus Member ID: unique 9 digit identifier you can find on your dashboard
Altus Group #: 3001-0001
EyeMed Member ID: your UMass student ID+0
EyeMed Group #: 9878760
Altus Dental ID Cards
You can print an ID by registering on the Altus website. If you receive an error message that your information doesn't match, it may be because of "multiple last names" (remove any spaces from the "name" field) or because we have an old zip code on file for you. Contact us to update your zip code. Once you're registered, you can download a virtual ID card, check your claims, and more.
EyeMed Vision ID Cards
If you were enrolled last year, your old card will continue to work and EyeMed will not mail a new ID card automatically. If you would like a new ID, please register on the EyeMed website which will allow you to print an ID.
