Can social security card be reimbursed for taking medicine?

Legal analysis: employees paid social security and received social security cards. When they go to a hospital or a drugstore to buy medicine, they can use the balance in China's account to pay for the medicine. Reimbursement can only be made in the overall account when you are in hospital.

1, medical insurance is divided into two accounts, personal account, and the money reflected in the medical insurance card can be used to buy medicines at designated pharmacies, pay outpatient expenses and pay the part of hospitalization expenses that the individual pays; The overall account is managed by the medical insurance center, and the expenses incurred by the insured who meet the local medical insurance reimbursement are paid by the overall account.

2. When seeking medical treatment, show the medical insurance card to the designated hospital to prove the identity of the insured. At the time of checkout, the part paid by the individual is paid by medical insurance card or cash, and the part reimbursed by medical insurance is settled by medical insurance and hospital, so the individual does not need to pay first and then reimburse.
