A debit card is a convenient way to pay for medical expenses and access your account, whenever and wherever you need it. This section covers requesting, using, and managing debit cards.
Can I request a debit card for a spouse or dependent?
Yes. You can order multiple cards at no additional cost through the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont Member Portal. For more information, see Requesting and Managing Debit Cards.
Can I withdraw funds at an ATM?
You cannot use the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont debit card for cash withdrawals from an Automated Teller Machine (ATM), from a Point-of-Sale (POS) device, or by any other means. The card will not work in these situations.
Do I need a PIN to use my debit card?
Once your card is activated, you can use your debit card either by using your PIN or by signing for your purchases and selecting “credit” when asked.
