Can the old medical insurance card still be used?

Before the new social security card is activated, the old medical insurance card can continue to be used.

The old social security card can still be used during the replacement of the new social security card, but the old social security card cannot be used after the new social security card is processed.

The main functions of the social security card are:

1, personal social security related information record, electronic certificate and information inquiry function;

2. Record the insured's name, ID number, date of birth, gender, nationality, household registration and other related basic information;
