What's the use of social security for newborns?

Legal analysis: Newborns can apply for social security cards within three months of birth, and the expenses from birth to now can be reimbursed. If you apply for a social security card after three months, you can only reimburse medical expenses from the time you apply for the card. Please bring your household registration book and ID card to the social security service hall for consultation.

In addition, children's social security can provide children with the most basic medical security. Although the compensation ratio and maximum compensation amount are not as good as commercial insurance, they also have two advantages:

First, outpatient medical expenses can be reimbursed;

Two, can reimburse the medical expenses of congenital diseases and past diseases.

Legal basis: Article 29 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the medical expenses incurred by the insured shall be paid by the basic medical insurance fund and directly settled by social insurance agencies, medical institutions and pharmaceutical trading units.

The administrative department of social insurance and the administrative department of health shall establish a settlement system for medical expenses in different places to facilitate the insured to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits.
