Can an off-site social security card be used locally?

The answer to the question of using a social security card in a different place is that it is partially feasible but with restrictions, according to the Social Insurance Law. Article 32 of the law stipulates that when an individual is employed across regions, his or her basic medical insurance relationship can be transferred with him or her, and the number of years of contributions will be accumulated, which means that people working in a different place can use their social security cards by transferring their medical insurance relationship. However, it should be noted that the medical insurance card is not universally applicable, and it is not applicable to medical treatment outside of China. According to Article 30, medical expenses outside China are not covered by the basic medical insurance fund.

For the process of using the card in China, generally when you visit a designated hospital, you only need to show your medical insurance card, and you don't need to pay the full amount first; the medical insurance and the hospital will settle the reimbursement part of the bill directly. When you visit the hospital, you need to pay the starting amount of money, and the part that exceeds this line will be reimbursed according to the local health insurance policy, the reimbursement rate is related to the hospital, the project and other factors. Therefore, although the use of foreign medical insurance card is subject to certain conditions, but for the domestic daily medical needs, can still meet.
