Can Lanzhou's social security card only be used in Lanzhou?

Legal analysis: No, the new social security card cannot be used across provinces, but it can be used in the participating provinces. At present, China's social security mechanism has not been networked nationwide, and the proportion of social security reimbursement and payment base are different in different places, so social security cards cannot be used in different places outside the province. If the user goes out for medical reimbursement, he/she needs to issue a referral certificate in the insured hospital before he/she can get medical treatment through the social security card.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Article 4 Employers and individuals who pay social insurance premiums according to law in People's Republic of China (PRC) have the right to inquire about payment records and personal rights and interests records, and ask social insurance agencies to provide social insurance consultation and other related services. Individuals enjoy social insurance benefits according to law and have the right to supervise the payment of their own units.

The state raises social insurance funds through multiple channels. People's governments at or above the county level shall give necessary financial support to social insurance.
