What should I do if I forget to bring my social security card to the hospital?

If you forget to bring your social security card to the hospital, you can take the following measures:

You can try to use an electronic social security card. Nowadays, many regions have launched electronic social security card services, which can be displayed to hospitals through mobile phones or electronic devices.

If you don't have an electronic social security card or can't use it, you can also try to provide a valid identity certificate and social security payment certificate. For example, you can carry valid identity documents such as ID cards and household registration books, and provide social security payment records or relevant supporting documents to the hospital.

The process of reissuing social security cards includes the following steps:

Pre-loss reporting: Pre-loss reporting of social security cards is conducted by telephone, Internet platform or directly to the issuing bank.

Report the loss in writing: report the loss in writing at the social security card service outlets with the original ID card or household registration book.

Reissue application: Fill in the Application Form for Reissuing Social Security Card and submit copies of relevant certificates.

Pay a fee: pay a certain fee.

Get a new card: Wait a while (about 15 working days), and then you can get a new card at the designated place with your ID card and card certificate.

To sum up, even if you forget to bring your social security card to the hospital, don't worry too much. We can solve this problem by using electronic social security cards and providing valid identification and social security payment certificates.
