Can a hospital use a medical insurance card?

Health centers can use medical insurance cards.

Yes, if it is a designated hospital, you can swipe your social security card. You can use the social security card to go to the health center. There are special medical insurance accounts in the social security card, such as drug purchase, outpatient registration and hospitalization reimbursement. But we also need to pay attention to the fact that you must go to the designated health center to see a doctor and buy medicine before you can use the social security card.

Medical insurance card processing flow:

1. The insured person brings his/her valid certificate and applies to the neighboring county medical insurance center, and the county medical insurance center will settle the account on the spot;

2. The insured person can also apply to the adjacent street medical insurance service point for handling, and the service point will settle within 3 working days. The insured shall go to the service point to receive the "Medical Insurance Card" within the specified time;

3. The insured may entrust others to handle it on his behalf. Customers need to carry valid certificates of themselves and the insured when handling;

4. When the employer handles it centrally, it can be handled by the employer's letter of introduction and the valid certificate of the agent, and then the employer issues the medical insurance card to the insured.

To sum up, if the community health service station has been included in the medical insurance network settlement, then the medical insurance card can be used, and now some areas can use medical insurance.
