Do I still need a medical insurance card if I have a social security card?

If you have a social security card, you do not need to apply for a medical insurance card. After all, social security cards can not only handle endowment insurance affairs, but also be used for real-time settlement of personal accounts for medical treatment and medical insurance; Medical insurance cards can only be used in designated hospitals and pharmacies to see doctors and buy medicines.

It can be seen that social security card has the function of medical insurance card, which is more perfect than medical insurance card, and the function of medical insurance card is relatively simple, so social security card can completely replace medical insurance card. And even if you have both a social security card and a medical insurance card, you can't reimburse them at the same time.

Nowadays, social security cards and medical insurance cards are integrated in many areas, so medical insurance cards are suspended and only social security cards are issued. The new social security card covers the functions of the medical insurance card. People only need to use the medical insurance account in the social security card to see a doctor and buy medicine, and do not need to use the medical insurance card again.

Moreover, in some areas, even if the medical insurance card is issued first and then the social security card is issued, after the insured user activates the medical account in the social security card, the original medical insurance card will be automatically cancelled and can no longer be used. Of course, there are also some areas that still need a medical insurance card to see a doctor, so it is necessary to have a social security card before applying for a medical insurance card. For specific suggestions, please consult the local social security department.
