legal ground

Article 29 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC): The part of the insured's medical expenses that should be paid by the basic medical insurance fund shall be directly settled by social insurance agencies, medical institutions and pharmaceutical trading units. The administrative department of social insurance and the administrative department of health shall establish a settlement system for medical expenses in different places to facilitate the insured to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits.

Generally, there are several situations that can be reimbursed in different places.

1.

The child's medical insurance card is handled in his hometown. If you are absent for a long time, you can go to the social security center of the insured place to register for medical treatment in different places. With this record, he can also use medical insurance to reimburse in other cities.

2. Online filing of medical insurance in different places

Some areas have also opened a remote medical insurance filing service online, and it is not necessary to go to the insured place. In this case, if you are on a business trip or traveling and need emergency treatment in other places, you can temporarily call the social security bureau of the insured place for filing, and the medical expenses can be paid in advance by yourself and reimbursed in the insured place later.

3. Emergency transfer

In case you are seriously ill, you need to go to an area with better medical conditions, you need to go to a different place for medical treatment, and you need a referral certificate issued by the hospital. However, this reimbursement rate may be reduced, and generally you will be reimbursed 30%-50% less.
