Are the medical insurance bureau and the social security bureau a unit?

The medical insurance bureau and the social security bureau have been described as the same unit in some past materials, both of which belong to the local human resources and social security bureau.

According to the data, the Medical Insurance Bureau is responsible for accepting the daily affairs such as the approval, payment and management of basic medical insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance and retired cadres' medical expenses pooling fund, while the Social Security Bureau is responsible for the collection and management of the city's social insurance fund. Both of them are administrative agencies under the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, responsible for related social insurance work.

With the passage of time and changes in policies and institutional reforms, the social security and medical insurance management systems in various places may be adjusted. In some areas, in order to improve the efficiency of social insurance services and promote the integration of resources, the social security bureau and the medical insurance bureau may be merged to form a unified social insurance service organization.
