Enhanced Privacy Protection for Peace of Mind

Photo of Dean ID CardWhile Social Security numbers (SSNs) were once a secure and convenient way of organizing member information, recently SSNs have become a gateway to personal information. To further protect your personal information, Dean Health Plan is converting all member ID numbers to unique identifiers, eliminating the use of SSNs. This conversion will increase your financial, health and personal security both within the healthcare system and beyond.

Many of you have already received your new ID card with your unique ID number. If you have not yet received your new ID card, you will when your group renews. You can find your group renewal date on your ID card.
