How long can social security medical care be reimbursed?

General social security can only be reimbursed after one year. Details are as follows:

1. From the first month of social security payment, you can use the individual payment part of the medical insurance card to go to the pharmacy or hospital where you can buy medicine or see a doctor with the medical insurance card;

Generally speaking, medical expenses can be reimbursed after one year. According to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, employees should participate in the basic medical insurance for employees, and employers and employees should pay the basic medical insurance premiums in accordance with state regulations.

The collection methods of social insurance premiums are as follows:

1, proportional insurance system, which is based on the wage income of the insured and stipulates a certain proportion to collect insurance premiums. Adopting the proportional system, the initial main purpose of social insurance is to compensate the income lost by the insured in risk accidents in order to maintain their minimum living. Therefore, we should refer to his usual income, on the one hand, as a standard to measure payment, on the other hand, as the basis for premium calculation. The biggest drawback of the work-based proportional insurance system is that the burden of social insurance is directly related to wages. Whether employers and employees bear social insurance premiums, or one of them bears social insurance premiums, the burden of social insurance is manifested in the increase of labor costs, which will lead to capital crowding out labor, thus leading to an increase in unemployment.

2. Matching premium system, that is, regardless of the income of the insured or his employer, the same amount of premium will be charged. The advantages of this system are simple calculation and easy to be universally realized. Moreover, in countries that collect insurance premiums in this way, the payment system is generally divided equally, which has the significance of equal income and expenditure. But its defect is that low-income people and high-income people pay the same premium, which is obviously unfair in terms of affordability. The above contents are related answers. Even if social insurance premiums are not paid for a long time, it will not waste money, because the old-age insurance and medical insurance in social insurance will not be cleared, but if they are not paid for more than six months, it will have a great impact on the normal use of other insurances.
