The Policy Holder Member Number is a number assigned by certain insurance carriers to each member of the insurance policy, if applicable. Typically, a member is anyone covered under a health plan (enrollee or eligible dependent). If family members are covered under the same insurance policy each family member may be assigned an individual Member Number to identify them.
Tip: The Policy Holder Member Number is frequently required by HMOs.
Notes:
Some insurance carriers require the Policy Holder Member Number, while other insurance carriers do not.
You can view and maintain the Policy Holder Member Number during Patient Entry at the Insurance Window.
