Do you still need to pay rural cooperative medical care after paying social security?

Legal analysis: No need. The new rural cooperative medical system refers to the mutual medical assistance system for farmers, which is organized, guided and supported by the government, in which farmers voluntarily participate and individuals, collectives and the government jointly raise funds. The biggest role is to reimburse a certain percentage when seeing a doctor. Social security includes medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, old-age insurance and industrial injury insurance, among which the role of medical insurance is consistent with that of the new rural cooperative medical system. Moreover, the medical insurance reimbursement rate of social security is higher than that of the new rural cooperative medical system, and the two cannot be reimbursed repeatedly. Therefore, after participating in social security, there is no need to continue to pay the new rural cooperative medical system.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.
