How long can I reimburse my medical expenses after paying social security?

Legal analysis: Social security has three kinds of medical insurance: basic medical insurance for urban workers and basic medical insurance for rural residents.

1, after getting the basic medical insurance for urban workers. Generally, the money in the card is used to see a doctor in an outpatient clinic or buy medicine in a pharmacy, so it is not enough to pay cash by yourself. About 80% can be reimbursed for hospitalization (see several hospitals).

2. Basic medical insurance for urban residents. Generally, the payment is made this year, and it will be invalid in that year. You can only be reimbursed if you are hospitalized next year.

3. New rural cooperative medical system. Same as above, you can only be reimbursed if you are hospitalized next year, and you can get a discount when you take medicine in the village clinic. In addition, according to national regulations, only employees who have participated in maternity insurance for a total of 1 year and are still insured at the time of childbirth (abortion) can enjoy maternity insurance benefits. However, maternity insurance is managed by local governments, which means that local policies are different.

Legal basis: Article 27 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. Individuals who participate in the basic medical insurance for employees will not pay the basic medical insurance premium after retirement if the cumulative payment reaches the prescribed period of time by the state when they reach the statutory retirement age. According to the provisions of the state to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits, can pay to the provisions of the state.
