I want to ask whether the medical insurance passbook and social security card are the same thing.

One: medical insurance passbook and social security card are not the same thing.

Second, the basic medical insurance for employees consists of two parts: individual account and overall fund. Deduct a certain percentage from the medical insurance premiums paid by employers and individuals and include it in personal accounts. Individual employees pay 2% of the average salary of the previous year, and the proportion of unit payment varies according to the age of employees. Take employees under the age of 35 as an example, the unit contribution is 0.8% of their monthly salary base. In other words, 2.8% of the wages of employees under the age of 35 have entered personal accounts. The money in the personal account will be remitted to the insured's medical insurance passbook every month.

Three: the money in the personal account is used for the insured to see a doctor and buy medicine. In most parts of the country, it is stipulated that the money in personal accounts (that is, medical insurance passbook) can only be used for personal medical treatment or hospitalization, and cannot be freely withdrawn.

4. The Social Security Card of the People's Republic of China is an integrated circuit (ic) card, which is uniformly planned by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and issued to the society by local human resources and social security departments, and used in various business fields of human resources and social security.

Five: the social security card has a wide range of functions. Cardholders can not only use the card for real-time settlement of medical insurance personal accounts, but also handle endowment insurance affairs; Apply for job registration and unemployment registration, apply for unemployment insurance, and apply for employment training; Apply for labor ability appraisal and enjoy work-related injury insurance benefits; Handling labor and social security affairs online.
