Can I go to the hospital without a social security card?

Legal analysis: although social security has been paid, if you don't apply for a social security card, you can't be reimbursed for seeing a doctor in a hospital. If employees pay social insurance, they should apply for social security cards as soon as possible.

Legal basis: Article 23 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), employees shall participate in the basic medical insurance for employees, and both employers and employees shall pay the basic medical insurance premium according to the provisions of the state. Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in the basic medical insurance for employees and other flexible employees can participate in the basic medical insurance for employees, and individuals pay the basic medical insurance premium in accordance with state regulations.
