Is Beijing Medical Insurance Card Universal in China?

The Beijing Medical Insurance Card is jointly issued by the Finance Bureau of Beijing Municipal People's Government and the Social Security Bureau, and is mainly used for residents to settle expenses when seeking medical treatment in medical institutions in this city. If you need medical treatment in different places, it depends on the specific situation of your location.

Under normal circumstances, Beijing's medical insurance card can only be used in Beijing, not in other places. However, there are also some cases of mutual recognition or cooperation between cities. For example, you may be able to use the Beijing Medical Insurance Card in some medical institutions in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development area. However, the specific local policies shall prevail.

Therefore, if you need to go to other places or other provinces for medical treatment, please know the local medical insurance policies and related regulations in advance to avoid unnecessary troubles and economic losses.

After registration, medical expenses in different places can also be reimbursed when they return to the place where medical insurance is located. You need to apply to the local social security bureau in advance to use the medical insurance card in different places.
