Can the health insurance card be used by a family ****?

Medicare cards can't be used by a family***.

Generally speaking, the health insurance card can not be used by the whole family***. The medical insurance card is a personal medical insurance card, which is used to settle medical expenses and reimbursement of medical expenses. Each participant needs to apply for his or her own medical insurance card, and the information on the card, which includes the participant's personal information and medical insurance payment records, should not be used by anyone else. If more than one person uses the same health insurance card for medical treatment, it may lead to confusion about the information on the health insurance account and problems in settling medical expenses.

It should be noted that in some special cases, family members can use the same card for medical treatment. For example, for special groups of people such as minors and the elderly, their guardians or family members can apply for medical procedures on their behalf and use the guardian's or family member's health insurance card for settlement.

How to use the medical insurance card:

1. Please make sure whether the hospital or doctor has the qualification of medical insurance fixed point before medical treatment, so as to avoid unnecessary expenses;

2. When medical treatment is in progress, please give the medical insurance card to the charging window of the hospital or the doctor, and the hospital will read the information on the card by swiping the card, etc., and settle the medical expenses;

3. Medical expenses are settled. Upon completion of the settlement, the hospital will issue relevant medical bills and invoices, and the insured person should keep them in a safe place;

4. The insured person can apply for reimbursement of medical expenses at the social security card service center designated by his/her medical insurance card or online through the medical insurance APP, etc., and apply according to the stipulated process and time.

In summary, the medical insurance card needs to be properly stored during use to avoid loss or damage. If the card is lost or damaged, you need to go to the local social security bureau or social security card service center in time to apply for loss and replacement procedures. At the same time, the insured need to understand the health insurance policies and regulations in their own regions, comply with the regulations on the use of health insurance, and rationally use medical resources to reduce the medical burden on themselves and society.
