Can I swipe my social security card at the outpatient clinic?

Legal analysis: Social security cards can be used for medical treatment, hospitalization and reimbursement of medical expenses. The insured person can show his social security card when seeing a doctor or registering. If the medical expenses are within the scope of medical insurance, they will be directly deducted from the card, and funds will be injected into the insured card every year according to the different payment amount. When the balance in the insured's card is deducted, it will enter the self-payment part. At this time, he will have to pay his own medical expenses.
