Shanghai medical insurance card and social security card are the same card?

Social security card is not a medical insurance card, so it is not a card, but it has the function of a medical insurance card. Social security cards are currently mainly used in the field of basic medical insurance. Generally speaking, compared with the traditional medical insurance card, the biggest advantage of social security card is that it can be settled in real time. Take Beijing as an example. In the past, the insured had to pay in advance, and the reimbursement process took at least two or three months. If you are hospitalized, you should pay in advance, and then go to the relevant departments to apply for reimbursement. With the social security card, the insured person does not need to take a lot of cash to the hospital, because the social security card has achieved "zero advance". After holding a card for medical treatment, patients only bear the medical expenses paid by individuals and at their own expense, and the expenses that should be reimbursed are directly settled by medical institutions and medical insurance departments. The reimbursement problem that used to take several months to solve may now be easily solved in just a few tens of seconds.
