Identity Protection Services

As a value-added service, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) provides employees, retirees and their families who are covered under the UT SELECT or the UT CONNECT Medical Plan (both administered by BCBSTX) the opportunity to enroll in identity protection services. These services are intended to give you some additional peace of mind. They are intended to protect health and personal information. Provided by Experian – at no cost to you – these services complement the security and data protection measures BCBSTX already has in place. The services offered at no cost to you include features such as credit monitoring, fraud resolution, and identity theft insurance for adults and a selection of services for minor dependent children. Please note, that under the terms of this value added program, you will be required to re-enroll annually. To enroll in this free program, you should log into your Blue Access for Members (BAM) account at www.bcbstx. com/ut (for UT SELECT participants) or www.bcbstx.com/ utconnect (for UT CONNECT participants). Once logged in, please look for the "Identity Protection" link in the "Quick Links" section on the left side of the page. NOTE: If you have not previously registered with Blue Access for Members (BAM), you will need to do so in order to access the link to sign up for free Identity Protection services. Your Benefits Identification number (or BID) is an 8-character unique identifier used for all of your UT Benefits coverage which can be found on your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas ID card. The "Identification Number" requested during registration for BAM includes the leading "0" on your BCBSTX ID card plus your 8-character BID.
