Can social security cards in different provinces be universal?

Legal analysis: social security cards have not been networked nationwide, so they cannot be used nationwide. The new social security card is universal in the whole province. Only by holding a social security card with financial function can the insured realize the direct settlement of hospitalization expenses across provinces and different places, and the "province-wide access" can be implemented. The new social security card provides better services in identification, information inquiry, medical expenses stage and social insurance premium payment.
