## Common Activation Problems

<Accordion title="My member ID is not recognized">
  Check that you are entering the exact member ID shown on your insurance card — no spaces or dashes unless the field specifically requires them. If your card lists both a subscriber ID and a member ID, try entering each one separately, as the portal may expect one format over the other.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="My identity verification failed">
  Double-check that your date of birth and zip code match exactly what is on file with UHC. If you have recently moved, your old zip code may still be the address of record — try entering your previous zip code to complete verification.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="My activation link expired">
  Activation links included in UHC welcome emails expire after 30 days. If your link no longer works, go directly to [activate.uhc.com](https://activate.uhc.com) to start a fresh activation using your member ID and personal details.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="The page says my plan is already activated">
  Your account may already exist from a previous enrollment period or employer setup. Go to your member portal and try signing in with your HealthSafe ID. If you do not remember your credentials, use the forgot password flow to regain access.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="I'm getting an error or the page won't load">
  Try opening activate.uhc.com in a different browser or clear your current browser's cache and cookies. Browser extensions — especially ad blockers or privacy tools — can interfere with the activation page. Disable extensions and try again.
</Accordion>

## Still Having Trouble?

If none of the solutions above resolve your issue, contact UHC member services directly. The fastest way to reach support is by calling the member services number printed on the back of your insurance card. A representative can look up your account and guide you through activation over the phone.

<Tip>
  Try activating in an incognito/private browser window to rule out browser extension interference.
