Is the new rural cooperative medical insurance card the same as the social security card?

Legal analysis: no, the social security card is employed in the unit and handed in with the unit. Rural insurance is not, but both are medical cards. According to the types of cardholders, social security cards can be divided into two categories, namely, social security (personal) cards issued to urban employees, unemployed people and retirees and social security (employer) cards issued to employers. The card planning and standardization of China's Ministry of Labor and Social Security focuses on social security (personal) cards, and the actual distribution in various regions is also concentrated on personal cards, so the social security card we refer to refers to social security (personal) cards.

Legal basis: Notice of the Measures for the Administration of Social Security Cards of the People's Republic of China issued by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Article 1 Provincial human resources and social security departments or municipal human resources and social security departments may issue social security cards with the approval of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. No other institution or organization may issue social security cards.
