How long can I use medical insurance after paying social security?

You can enjoy medical insurance benefits after three months of continuous payment, but you can only apply for a medical insurance card after six months of continuous payment. The processing time of medical insurance card is generally about two months, and you can get the medical insurance card after eight months. Medical insurance refers to the basic medical insurance premium paid in full and on time by employers and employees according to the principle of compulsory social insurance through national legislation. If it is not paid in full and on time, the basic medical insurance fund for its medical expenses will not be paid, regardless of personal accounts. People who participate in medical insurance should go to the local designated medical insurance hospitals, and not all hospitals can use urban residents' medical insurance cards. If the medical insurance card is lost, you need to report the loss to the urban residents' medical insurance card issuing agency, and apply for a replacement card with your ID card, photos and other related materials. The use of medical insurance must also be based on the medical insurance card we get. However, if you are suddenly hospitalized during the process, you can enjoy medical insurance benefits as long as you guarantee to pay social security for three months in a row.
