Can I use the newborn social security right away?

Newborn social security can be used as soon as it is done.

The social security card for newborns is processed within 3 months or 6 months after the birth of newborns, and can be used immediately, and all the reimbursable expenses incurred after the birth of newborns can be reimbursed.

The specific process of social security for newborns is as follows:

1. Parents should bring relevant materials (including newborn birth certificate, household register, local household registration certificate of one parent, etc.). ) go to the local street or village medical insurance service point to participate in urban residents' social security or the new rural cooperative medical system;

2, the staff audit information is complete, in line with the conditions, can be handled on the spot;

3, the staff will be insured information input system;

4. Parents pay premiums in accordance with relevant regulations;

Usually, the social security card will be completed within one month to two months.

The activation method of newborn social security card is as follows:

1, call the local social security customer service hotline, transfer the manual service, and provide relevant information according to the customer service staff to activate the social security card;

2. The settlement of medical expenses in designated hospitals can directly activate the activation function of social security cards;

3. Buy medicine at the designated pharmacy to directly activate the social security card function.

To sum up, the newborn medical insurance card is not a social security card. Social security card includes the function of medical insurance card, but the two cards are different. Newborns can apply for a medical insurance card before they are 1 6 years old, because their faces will change and they need to change photos frequently to apply for a social security card. You can apply for a social security card after you are 6 years old. After the social security card medical insurance account is activated, the original medical insurance card automatically becomes invalid.
