Do newborns need medical insurance or social security?

Medical insurance belongs to social security. Newborns can participate in neonatal medical insurance or apply for social security cards. Newborns within three months can enjoy their mothers' medical treatment if their mothers participate in urban residents' medical insurance. If the mother participates in the new rural cooperative medical system, the newborn can also enjoy the mother's medical insurance in the production payment year. Newborns share their mothers' medical insurance more than their own medical insurance cards.

Matters needing attention in neonatal medical insurance

After purchasing children's medical insurance, the outpatient medical expenses incurred by the insured in designated medical institutions due to common diseases or serious illnesses can be reimbursed.

If the insured children need emergency rescue and hospitalization due to illness, if the hospital is a medical institution established by the relevant departments, the hospitalization expenses incurred during this period can be reimbursed according to the prescribed proportion.
