Can the social security card be directly swiped in the hospital?

Legal analysis: It can be used for reimbursement of medical treatment, hospitalization and medical expenses. The insured person can show his social security card when registering for medical treatment. If the medical expenses are within the scope of medical insurance, they will be deducted directly from the card, and the funds will be injected into the insured card every year according to the different payment amount (generally about 500 yuan a year). When the balance in the insured's card is deducted, it will enter the self-payment part. At this time, he will have to pay his own medical expenses.

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

Twenty-eighth medical expenses that meet the basic medical insurance drug list, diagnosis and treatment items, medical service facilities standards and emergency treatment and rescue shall be paid by the basic medical insurance fund in accordance with state regulations.

Twenty-ninth medical expenses of the insured shall be paid by the basic medical insurance fund, and shall be directly settled by the social insurance agency, medical institutions and pharmaceutical business units.

The administrative department of social insurance and the administrative department of health shall establish a settlement system for medical expenses in different places to facilitate the insured to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits.
