Check whether you can buy social security across the city.

Yes Individuals can pay social security fees in different places. The social security of enterprise employees shall be paid by the unit where they work. If employees work in other enterprises in different places, social security should be transferred to the workplace together, and social security fees should be paid locally by the work unit, but the social security of the original workplace can no longer be paid. If the social security has not been transferred or employees do not work in enterprises in different places, it is ok to pay the social security of the original place of work by themselves, but only medical insurance and endowment insurance can be paid, and other insurances cannot be paid.

1. Insurance: The social security card can reimburse the medical expenses of medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, maternity insurance and other insurance;

2. Medical expenses: the social security card can reimburse the medical expenses that meet the requirements, including outpatient service, hospitalization, medicine taking, examination, treatment and other related expenses;

3. Reimbursement ratio: the reimbursement ratio of social security cards varies according to specific types of insurance and regulations. The reimbursement rate of general medical insurance ranges from 70% to 90%, and the reimbursement rate of industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance is100%;

4. Reimbursement restrictions: There are still some restrictions on reimbursement of social security cards, such as restrictions on the use of hospital grades and restrictions on the use of specific drugs.

To sum up, you can buy social security across cities, but you can't pay local social security in social security departments in different places, because China has not yet achieved the national joint insurance model.
