Are the bases of social security and medical insurance the same?

The medical insurance payment base is the same as the social security payment base, and the relevant provisions are as follows:

1. The payment bases of social security and medical insurance are the same. According to the statement that medical insurance is only one of social insurance, the payment base of social insurance already includes medical insurance. It can be said that their payment base is the same, which is based on the local social salary of the previous year and the actual salary of the insured.

2. Everyone's social security base in each region is different, because everyone's actual salary is different, and the average social salary in each region is different, so everyone's social security and medical insurance base is also different.

The medical insurance card is handled as follows:

1. The insured person brings his/her valid certificate and applies to the neighboring county medical insurance center, and the county medical insurance center will settle the account on the spot;

2. The insured person may also apply for the nearest street medical insurance service point to handle it on his behalf;

3. The insured may entrust others to handle it on his behalf. Customers need to carry valid certificates of themselves and the insured when handling;

4. When the employer handles it centrally, it can go to the county medical insurance center with the employer's letter of introduction and the valid certificate of the handling personnel, and then the employer will issue medical insurance cards to the insured.
