Is paying social security equal to paying medical insurance?

Paying social security is equal to paying medical insurance.

Social security includes pension insurance, medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance. Different types of insurance have different coverage and compensation standards. Among them, medical insurance is an important part of social security.

Medical insurance refers to a social security system to solve the risks faced by workers in medical treatment. The payment of medical insurance is an important part of social security, which is paid by the insured and the employer. Insured persons who seek medical treatment within the scope of medical insurance can enjoy services such as reimbursement and settlement of medical expenses.

The specific steps for handling social security cards are as follows:

1. Preparation materials: the original and photocopy of my valid identity certificate, the original and photocopy of my household registration book, a recent photo of my color certificate, etc. If you apply for a social security card due to unit payment or social security relationship transfer, you need to provide relevant certification materials;
