Can I use my social security card if I don't go to the hospital anymore?

The social security card has been stopped, so you can buy medicine for medical treatment in the outpatient department, but hospitalization cannot be reimbursed. Medical insurance generally has a buffer period of 3 months from the date of suspension of payment. If the payment has not been made for more than 3 months, the payment period should be recalculated. Please consult the local human resources and social security bureau for the specific buffer period.
