Can Lanzhou's social security card be universal in Gansu Province?

Sure, but some private hospitals may not.

The full name of social security card is "Social Security Card of the People's Republic of China". Judging from the meaning of this name, the target of distribution is the people who implement social security by the relevant government departments; As far as its content is concerned, it can involve all aspects of individual social security, including both social insurance and employment services. Local governments in some areas also put more social management affairs into it according to local management needs. Geographically speaking, this is an IC card that can be used all over the country, and it can meet the needs of the national unified labor market and social security system networking and the needs of personnel flow.

To correctly understand the concept of social security card, we must also understand the relationship between social security card and IC card in other industries, especially with bank card. Because the "personal account" on social security cards for cardholders to settle in hospitals is similar to the "electronic wallet" of bank cards, some regions or manufacturers adopt the standard of bank cards to design social security cards. The bank card standard is a specification for the application of bank cards, and its file storage format, instruction operation, security management and other aspects are all designed for various financial-related transactions. IC cards issued in the field of labor and social security are mainly used for administrative management, and their main function is to manage information records, which is quite different from that of bank cards. The medical insurance personal account in the social security card is also essentially different from the electronic wallet in the bank card. It records accounts in personal accounts, not real money. After the cardholder transfers the balance of personal account to the card, the medical insurance institution is still responsible for the use of the account. Even if the cardholder's card is lost or damaged, as long as the funds in the personal account are not fraudulently used by others before reporting the loss, they still belong to the cardholder, and this part of the account can still be used for medical consumption.

Social security card is called "Social Security Card of the People's Republic of China". It is an integrated circuit card (IC card) which is uniformly planned by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and issued to the society by local labor and social security departments. It is the electronic certificate for laborers to work in the field of labor security. The social security card adopts the national unified standard, and the social security number adopts the citizenship number in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Social Insurance Law.
