What should I do if I forget to bring my social security card to the hospital?

Legal analysis: if you don't show your social security card, the expenses incurred will be borne by the individual in full, and the medical insurance fund can't pay it. Insured persons who have received social security cards must show their social security cards when seeking medical treatment in designated medical institutions that have opened card-based medical settlement services. Employees can settle accounts in cash and apply for reimbursement in the social security center with invoices and medical materials issued by the hospital. The state establishes social insurance systems such as basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance, so as to guarantee citizens' right to receive material assistance from the state and society in accordance with the law when they are old, sick, injured, unemployed and have children.
