What if the medical insurance card has not been activated for more than 6 months?

Legal analysis: the new social security card will be restricted if it is not activated within 6 months after receiving the card. The social security card holder shall activate the social security card within 6 months after receiving the card, during which the medical insurance card can still be used normally. After activating the social security card, the original medical insurance card will automatically become invalid. If it is not activated within the time limit, the original medical insurance card will be restricted. For those who are overdue, the insured should activate the social security card at the corresponding bank with valid ID and social security card as soon as possible. After activating the social security card, the balance of the medical insurance account will be automatically transferred to the social security card, and the medical insurance account will return to normal state. The list of units whose cards have been stopped can be found in the social security card column of the human resources and social security network.
