Is the employee medical insurance card and social security card the same card?

Legal analysis: social security card is different from medical insurance card, not a card. Social security card is an IC card with various social security functions, including the function of medical insurance card; Medical insurance card is a special card for medical insurance. Cardholders can use medical insurance cards to enjoy services related to medical insurance, such as purchasing medicines and paying bills. Medical insurance cards can generally be activated in designated pharmacies or banks, and social security cards need to be activated in designated banks. Both need to be activated before they can be used.

Legal basis: Article 4 of the Measures for the Administration of Social Security Cards of the People's Republic of China is constructed according to the principle of "one card is multi-purpose and universal". The issuance of social security cards in all localities must comply with the requirements of safety, integrity and public welfare, adopt unified national standards and norms, and ensure their use throughout the country.
