Can I directly deduct the balance of social security card for hospitalization expenses in different places?

Honey, I'm happy to answer your question. Can I use the balance of medical insurance card for cross-provincial hospitalization? A: Honey, I can use my medical insurance card to stay in hospital across provinces, nationwide. However, it has some limitations. At present, social security cards can only be used for hospitalization expenses of designated medical institutions, and outpatient clinics and pharmacies cannot use social security cards. This is because China's social security system is not connected to the national network, so we go to other places for medical treatment. Our medical insurance can only be used in hospitals with connected systems in other places. However, at present, many areas in China are not connected to the medical system, so our current medical insurance is mainly based on reimbursement in different places, which means that hospitals without connected medical systems in different places cannot directly use medical insurance cards. Because social security is coordinated by region, medical insurance is generally used by the insured in the insured area. Of course, many provinces and cities have achieved overall planning, so as long as they are in the province, they can use medical insurance across cities, districts and counties. Moreover, many areas can go to other places to use medical insurance as long as they seek medical treatment in different places for the record. However, in the past, medical institutions generally stipulated that they must be hospitals connected to cross-provincial medical platforms. Although many areas can use medical insurance in different places, at present, medical insurance is not universal nationwide. I hope I can help you. I look forward to your compliment. Thank you, dear.
