Is the new rural cooperative medical insurance card and social security card the same card?

The new rural cooperative medical system and social security card are not the same card. The scope of rural cooperative medical care is mainly used for medical diagnosis or hospitalization and other medical-related security and reimbursement. The application scope of social security card covers the diagnosis and reimbursement of medical insurance, as well as financial functions, pension, unemployment and many other applications.

Legal objectivity:

Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law, the employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
