Can the hospital directly swipe the social security card when seeing a doctor?

Legal analysis: Yes. Can be used for medical treatment, hospitalization and reimbursement of 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: Article 4 of the Measures for the Administration of Social Security Cards of the People's Republic of China is constructed according to the principle of "one card is multi-purpose and universal". The issuance of social security cards in all localities must comply with the requirements of safety, integrity and public welfare, adopt unified national standards and norms, and ensure their use throughout the country.
