Has the new rural cooperative medical system changed its social security card now?

The insured persons of the new rural cooperative medical system can bring their valid identity documents, household registration book, new rural cooperative medical system passbook and other related materials to the local social security card service center to apply for replacing the social security card. If the new rural cooperative medical system in the insured area has been merged with the medical insurance for urban residents, then the medical care of the new rural cooperative medical system can be replaced by social security cards.

In order to establish a unified medical insurance system for urban and rural residents, many areas have merged the new rural cooperative medical insurance with the medical insurance for urban residents. After the merger of the new rural cooperative medical system and urban residents' medical insurance, farmers who originally held medical insurance can use social security cards instead of medical books.

It is more convenient to use medical books instead of social security cards. After the medical books are replaced by social security cards, if we are hospitalized, we can directly register with social security cards for medical treatment, and we can directly settle the reimbursement with social security cards when we leave the hospital, without having to advance the medical expenses ourselves, and then prepare relevant materials to go to the local medical insurance department for reimbursement procedures.

Moreover, the new social security card is loaded with financial functions. You can see the logo of UnionPay on the card face of the social security card, which has the name of the issuing bank and the card number of the bank card. In other words, the new social security card is not only a social security card, but also a bank card. After we get the social security card, we should not only activate the social security card account, but also activate the financial account of the social security card. The cardholder only needs to bring his/her valid ID card and social security card and activate the financial account at the issuing bank window.
