Does the social security card need to be activated before it can be used?

Legal analysis: First, offline outlets are activated.

1. The insured person carries the original social security card and ID card and activates it at the bank outlet where the social security card is processed. The staff of the bank will help us complete it, and the medical insurance account can be used after it is activated.

2. In the designated hospitals for medical insurance, you can also use the social security card to directly activate the social security card function. When the designated medical institutions use the social security card for the first time, they can open the social security card function by handling registration services such as hospitalization, registration and outpatient service.

3. You can insert a social security card to buy medicine at the designated pharmacy of medical insurance cooperation, and directly enable social security card consumption.

After getting the social security card, the insured person needs to complete the activation within 300 days, otherwise the social security card will be lost, or he can entrust others to handle it at a designated bank. Entrustment requires a power of attorney and the identity card of the insured. The situation in each region may be different, subject to local actual regulations.
