Can I buy medicine online with my medical insurance card?

Legal analysis: Generally speaking, you can't buy medicine online with medical insurance card or social security card. You can only buy medicine by swiping your card in designated hospitals, designated pharmacies and equipment networked with the local medical insurance department.

Only when the funds in the personal account of medical insurance are transferred to the bank card in cash can they be paid when buying medicine online.

Legal basis: Article 29 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the part of the medical expenses of the insured who should be paid by the basic medical insurance fund shall be directly settled by social insurance agencies, medical institutions and pharmaceutical trading units.

The administrative department of social insurance and the administrative department of health shall establish a settlement system for medical expenses in different places to facilitate the insured to enjoy the basic medical insurance benefits.
