Is the medical insurance card universal in China?

Medical insurance cards and social security cards have been merged, and social security cards have been used nationwide in many places. So is the medical insurance card also universal in the country? Similarly, whether the medical insurance card can be used nationwide depends on whether it can be settled in different places. Let's talk together.

Although the social security card has been fully issued, the original medical insurance card still has the function of medical insurance, so the current medical insurance card can still enjoy medical insurance benefits. Then, let's see if the medical insurance card can be settled in different places now.

1, the medical insurance card was not popular in China before.

The medical insurance card cannot be used in different places before it is approved nationwide. If you want to use the medical insurance card in different places, you need to go to the hospital designated by the local social security bureau for medical referral in different places before you can see a doctor. Then go back to the local place to pay social security for reimbursement with the case and expense certificate.

2, after the implementation of the national medical insurance card.

At present, 70% of China's regions have realized the universal function of medical insurance card, and 30% of them still do not support it. In areas where medical insurance cards are common, patients can directly use medical insurance cards for cross-regional payment and medical insurance reimbursement. The above 70% areas have basically realized the functions of settlement in different places and roaming across the country. However, to pay attention to the use of medical insurance cards in different places, three conditions must be met.

Article 1: Social security cards that meet the national standards for more than two generations must be used.

Article 2: Medical hospitals must participate in cross-provincial and off-site medical platforms.

Article 3: The insured person has gone through the medical record in different places in the local social security department.

Patients can pay medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, maternity insurance, etc. By social security card.

In fact, whether the medical insurance card can be used nationwide, you can check whether the hospital supports the medical insurance card joint guarantee before going to the hospital. As long as this function is supported, the medical insurance card can be used in different places.
