How to reimburse foreign social security for hospitalization in Shenzhen

Yes, you can.

If it is a normal step-by-step referral, that is, the local hospital can't cure it, it is generally necessary for the local hospital to issue a referral certificate, and after approval, it can go to a hospital transferred from other places for treatment. After discharge, if the hospital where you live is a direct reporting unit, you can directly reimburse the relevant medical expenses in our hospital.

If you work and live in other places, you only need to call the social security center of the insured place for online referral, and then when you leave the hospital, you only need to provide the hospitalization certificate, documents and invoices, as well as proof of residence or work, and you can directly reimburse in our hospital without proof of referral.

If you just go to a foreign hospital for hospitalization first, and then go back to the insured place with hospitalization certificates, medical records, invoices and other materials for referral procedures, the reimbursement rate may be lower, which may be about 10%. If it is an emergency or a mental patient is hospitalized, then these situations can be reimbursed and no referral certificate is needed.
