Can I pay medical insurance separately?

Legal analysis: medical insurance can be paid separately. Medical insurance for urban workers and medical insurance for urban and rural residents can be insured separately. You can go to the social security bureau and the town employment social security service center with valid identity documents, which means you can only pay medical insurance separately. But if it is an enterprise employee, then the unit must apply for social security, and it is not enough to pay medical insurance without paying social security. According to the relevant laws and regulations, individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in the basic medical insurance for employees and other flexible employees can participate in the basic medical insurance for employees, and individuals pay the basic medical insurance premiums in accordance with state regulations.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
