No, you can't buy medicine across the city. You can only buy medicine at local pharmacies and hospitals.

However, if you are hospitalized, you can go back to the local social security bureau for reimbursement with the receipts and invoices of foreign consumption.

Our social security card is a dual-chip magnetic card with information in it, which is actually the cardholder's "second ID card". The card face has the cardholder's name, photo and ID number. It is the same as the ID card in visual reading, and the identity can be confirmed through the background system. After using the social security card, it saves the trouble of carrying the ID card and household registration book. Can be used as a bank card.

Now there are ATM signs on social security cards. Social security card is one card and two accounts, which are divided into medical insurance personal account and financial account. The former is that the money in the social security card cannot be withdrawn, and the financial account can be used as an ordinary bank card. However, you need to take your ID card to the corresponding bank to activate it, and then you can pay utilities, parking fees and other expenses.

Many people think that they can only use social security cards to go to the hospital when they are sick, but they are not. You can buy prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs at designated pharmacies that can use social security cards! PS: Only comprehensive medical insurance can buy medicine. Generally, companies and units help to pay comprehensive medical insurance.

Extended data:

Medical treatment in different places refers to the behavior of medical insurance participants seeking medical treatment outside the insured place. There is no clear legal definition of medical insurance in different places. In the social medical insurance coverage,

"Off-site" generally refers to other areas in China outside the co-ordination area where the insured is insured, and medical treatment in other places can be simply defined as the medical treatment behavior of the insured outside the co-ordination area where he is insured. In recent years, Guangdong, Shanxi, Hubei, Liaoning and other provinces have achieved medical insurance settlement in different places.

"Remote medical insurance" is mainly divided into three situations.

First, one-time medical treatment in different places, including emergency treatment during business trips and tourism, leads to the problem that medical expenses cannot be settled in time.

Second, short-term and medium-term mobility. The jobs are not in the insured places for medical treatment in different places, including the personnel stationed in various places of the unit and the local employees of the stationed institutions. Another situation is that the whole unit is in a state of mobility, such as the medical care for employees in the construction industry, and the problems arising are either that they cannot participate in medical insurance or that they have to pay medical expenses in advance.

The third is the medical care of retirees who have been resettled in different places for a long time. Including those whose registered permanent residence is moved from the place of work to the place of resettlement after retirement, and those who rely on their children to move in without registered permanent residence. On the surface, the problem is that the medical settlement is not timely and inconvenient, and the personal burden is heavy. In essence, the medical treatment in a safe place is often better than that in the insured place, and the resettlement personnel feel that the medical treatment is unequal.
