Can I use my social security card to go to the hospital?

Legal analysis: you can use social security card to go to the hospital. There are special medical insurance accounts in the social security card, such as drug purchase, outpatient registration, hospitalization reimbursement, etc. , can be used.

However, we also need to pay attention to the fact that we must see a doctor and buy medicine in a designated hospital before we can use the social security card. You can't use a social security card when you go to a general hospital to see a doctor and buy medicine.

Also, if your social security is suspended, you can't enjoy medical insurance reimbursement when you are hospitalized, so you can only pay for it at your own expense. However, you can still use the social security card to buy medicine or go to the clinic, as long as your personal account has money.

Medical reimbursement and drug purchase can also be said to be the most commonly used social security card functions. After all, it is much more cost-effective than self-funded medical expenses without social security card, and the highest reimbursement rate can reach about 60%.
