Can social security cards be spent on pos machines?

Social security cards can be consumed by pos machines.

However, it must be a medical insurance card with UnionPay logo before you can swipe your card with POS machine. Medical insurance cards are also divided into UnionPay logo and non-UnionPay logo. The former can be swiped by POS machine, while the latter can only be used for payment of medical insurance consumption. Therefore, if you want to use the POS machine to swipe your card, you can only pay with the UnionPay logo card, and there is no need to upgrade.
