My hometown is away from home, and now my parents want to live in Shenzhen for a few years after retirement. Can their medical insurance in different places be used in Shenzhen? What's the procedure?

Foreigners in Shenzhen need to go through the formalities of medical treatment in different places, and they need to open a certificate at the community workstation where they live in Shenzhen to confirm that the elderly have lived in the jurisdiction for more than half a year. They should take Shenzhen residence permit, ID card and medical insurance card to the original medical insurance bureau, take the application form to Shenzhen to choose two first-class hospitals and a second-class hospital as designated hospitals for medical treatment in different places, stamp the medical insurance management department of the designated hospital to be established, and then stamp it at Shenzhen Social Security Bureau, and hand it over to the person with the hospital and Shenzhen social security seal.
