From helping prepare questions for an upcoming doctor visit to determining the appropriate use of medical resources, Nurseline helps participants make educated decisions about their personal health. Translation services for over 170 languages are available when participants speak to a nurse. Online Access to Account Information
UnitedHealthcare StudentResources Insureds have online access to claims status, EOBs, ID Cards, network providers, correspondence and coverage information by logging in to My Account at www.uhcsr.com/myaccount. Insured participants who don't already have an online account may simply select the "create My Account Now" link. Follow the simple, onscreen directions to establish an online account in minutes using your 7-digit Insurance ID number or the email address on file. As part of UnitedHealthcare StudentResources' environmental commitment to reducing waste, we've adopted a number of initiatives designed to preserve our precious resources while also protecting the security of a participant's personal health information. My Account now includes Message Center - a self-service tool that provides a quick and easy way to view any email
notifications we may have sent. In Message Center, notifications are securely sent directly to the Insured participant's email address. If the Insured participant prefers to receive paper copies, he or she may opt-out of electronic delivery by going into My Email Preferences and making the change there. ID Cards
One way we are becoming greener is to no longer automatical y mail out ID Cards. Instead, we wil send an email notification when the digital ID card is available to be downloaded from My Account. An Insured participant may also use My Account to request delivery of a permanent ID card through the mail. UHCSR Mobile App

ID Cards – view, save to your device, fax or email directly to your provider.
