Q: I have two cards that were given to me. How do I know when to use them?
A: Some members might have two cards. The paper card is your member identification card.
This card is used when you go to the doctor’s office or the hospital. The plastic card is your
Benefit Card. This card is used for dental and pharmacy services. If you have questions, you
can call the number on the back for your member identification card.

Q: What if I don’t have transportation to my doctor’s appointment?
A: Non-emergency transportation is covered in Niagara County only. If you live in any other
county, you should contact your local Department of Social Services to arrange for
transportation services.
