Can I see a doctor if I lose my social security card?

You can see a doctor if you lose your social security card.

As long as the insured pays social security normally, then the insured can enjoy medical insurance benefits. Therefore, even if the social security card is lost, it does not prevent the insured from going to the designated medical institution to see a doctor. As long as the social security card is reported lost and reissued, the social security center will issue a card replacement certificate, and the insured can hold this card replacement certificate to the designated medical institution during the period of reporting the loss of the social security card, advance the medical expenses in advance, and keep the prescription details, charging documents and other information, and then reimburse according to the original regulations after the new card is issued.

Social security card replacement process:

1. Report the loss in advance. You can report the loss in advance in writing at the social security card service outlets with the original resident ID card or household registration book. Social security card service outlets are generally located in street social security offices, which are written in advance to report the loss. If you happen to be too busy to go to the outlet recently, you can also report the loss orally. The owner can call the issuing bank in advance or 12333 to report the loss, but in this case, he still needs to provide basic information such as his social security card number, name, ID number, contact number and work unit to complete the oral loss report. If the time limit is exceeded, the service center will automatically cancel the loss reporting status of the social security card;

2. reissue a new card. After the pre-loss report is successful, you can directly report the loss formally and reissue a new card. Fill in the application form first, and the staff of the service center will guide the next specific operation. If you get sick between replacing a new card and getting a new card, you can take the card certificate to the designated hospital for medical treatment, keep the charging documents and other materials, and reimburse according to the manual process. If you don't have time in the near future, you can't go to the service center to reissue the new card in person, or you can ask someone to reissue it for you, but in this case, you need to prepare the original and photocopy of the ID cards of the client and the client;

3. Get a new card. After 15 working days from the completion of the second step, the card changer can take his ID card and card receipt voucher to the social security service outlets to collect a new card.

To sum up, if you lose your social security card, you can go to see a doctor. As long as the insured pays social security normally, then the insured can enjoy medical insurance benefits. Therefore, even if the social security card is lost, it does not prevent the insured from going to the designated medical institution to see a doctor.
