Hi guys, I have started to work for almost a month and got our (my spouse and I (AOS pending)) medical+dental+vision insurance through my employer. Recently I received our insurance cards (2 X medical + 2 X dental + 2 X vision) But my names are on ALL of them and my spouse's names are not on ANY of them. The insurance company replied my inquiry in email that this is normal and there is no typo.

 

My question is, when going to see a doctor, my spouse has to use insurance cards with my name? Do clinics or hospitals accept that?

What Lemonslice says is rather typical.  Mrs. T-B. & Mini-Bone are registered under my account, and all has been well.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

They’ll pull up the policy number on the card, and that will show them who is covered under the insurance. Not a problem.

I've been using a card printed with my husband's name only for 10 years with no problem. My name and birthdate are associated with his file and no one (doctor/dentist/pharmacist) has had problem accepting it.

Thank you very much guys! Really appreciate your replies! (Much better than my insurance company who has not replied me yet :) )
