Can medical insurance transfer and social security not transfer?

Medical insurance and social security are two different insurance systems, and only one of them can be transferred, but not the other. However, if we only transfer medical insurance but not social security, it may lead to some problems. For example, in some areas, medical insurance and social security are linked, and the use of medical insurance may be affected if social security is not transferred. In addition, if only medical insurance is transferred, the individual's social security payment record may also be interrupted, affecting the individual's social security benefits.

To sum up, whether it is possible to switch from medical insurance to social security depends on the specific situation. If medical insurance and social security are not related to each other, and individuals do not need to keep continuous social security payment records, then only transfer medical insurance. However, if medical insurance and social security are linked, or it is necessary to keep a continuous record of social security payment, it is suggested that medical insurance and social security be transferred at the same time to avoid problems.

Legal basis:

According to "People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law" and related regulations, if an individual is employed across the overall planning area, his basic medical insurance relationship will be transferred accordingly, and the payment period will be calculated cumulatively. When an individual reaches the statutory retirement age, the basic pension is calculated in stages and distributed uniformly. Therefore, for the transfer of medical insurance relationship, the law has clear provisions. For the transfer of social security relationship, although the law does not clearly stipulate that medical insurance and social security must be transferred at the same time, it is suggested that individuals should consider transferring medical insurance and social security at the same time when they are employed in different places to ensure their insurance rights and interests are protected.
