Can I still use my social security card when I go to the hospital without money?

Legal analysis: Yes, the social security card can be free of charge, because the social security card has two accounts, one is a personal account and the other is a co-ordination account. Among them, the personal account is used to pay for the self-funded part of the usual drug purchase and outpatient hospitalization. After the personal account has no money, it can be paid directly by cash or credit card. Even if the social security card has no money, as long as it meets the reimbursement standards, the insured can also use the overall account for reimbursement.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Twenty-eighth medical expenses that meet the basic medical insurance drug list, diagnosis and treatment items, medical service facilities standards and emergency treatment and rescue shall be paid by the basic medical insurance fund in accordance with state regulations.

Twenty-ninth medical expenses of the insured shall be paid by the basic medical insurance fund, and shall be directly settled by the social insurance agency, medical institutions and pharmaceutical business 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.
