Is the health insurance you have already paid for still valid after changing your name?

Medicare is linked to a person's ID number, not directly to their name. As long as the ID number is not changed, the health insurance information will not be affected. It is recommended that you go to the health insurance department as soon as possible after you change your name to associate your new name with your health insurance information to ensure that you can use your health insurance when you need it. After changing your name, you also need to pay attention to updating other relevant documents and information, such as your ID card and social security card, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Medicare, or health insurance, is a social insurance system set up by the state to protect citizens' medical rights and interests. Medical insurance aims to alleviate the financial burden caused by illness and to ensure that insured persons receive the necessary medical care when they are sick or injured. The medical insurance system covers a wide range of areas, including urban workers' medical insurance, urban and rural residents' medical insurance, etc. It provides participants with reimbursement and compensation for medical expenses, and is an important part of the social security system.
