New Year, New Benefits, New Cards
ELCA-Primary health benefit members will receive a new Portico Health ID card for 2026. Plus, by popular request, your new card will now include a Group ID number for easier reference.
Most cards arrive in December but due to extra holiday mail volume, some may not be delivered until mid-January. If your card hasn’t arrived by Jan. 1, you can:
- Print a temporary card from the Quantum Health website following the instructions.
- Call the Quantum Health Care Coordinators at 877-851-5656 from 7:30 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Monday-Friday. They can email you a copy of your card or give you the information over the phone. You can also download the Quantum Health mobile app to access and use your card digitally.
HSA/FSA Transition from Further to Health Equity
If you have a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA) now and will have one again next year, you’ll also receive a new HealthEquity debit card this month.
HealthEquity has acquired Further, so your tax-advantaged accounts will move from the Further platform to the HealthEquity platform on Jan. 1.
Continue using your Further debit card through:
- Dec. 22* for HSA accounts
- Dec. 31 for FSA accounts
Starting Jan. 1, use your new HealthEquity debit card for all eligible expenses.
If you have more than one tax-advantaged account, be sure to follow the specific 2025 cutoff dates listed above.
If the health benefit option you elected for 2026 includes a different type of tax-advantaged account than the one you have now, HealthEquity will manage the transition for you.
If your card hasn’t arrived by Jan. 1, call HealthEquity at 866-346-5800. Representatives are available 24/7 to answer calls.
