Time limit for reimbursement of medical insurance

There is a time limit for medical reimbursement, and the time limit for reimbursement in different cities is different. For example, the current Shenzhen medical insurance policy stipulates that if the insured person advances medical expenses, he shall apply for reimbursement within 12 months from the date of occurrence or discharge, and will not be reimbursed after the time limit.
