Can personal social security card be reimbursed for medicine?

You can use the money in the social security card to buy medicine, but the medicine bought in the pharmacy is not within the scope of reimbursement, and it must happen during hospitalization.

After resigning, the funds on his medical insurance card can continue to be consumed until they are used up. Due to resignation, the unit no longer handles matters such as medical insurance payment for individuals, and the unit insurance is changed to individual insurance, and individuals handle medical insurance procedures. According to the original medical insurance, the medical insurance card can continue to be used or changed to other medical insurance. The information and data on the medical insurance card should be modified, and it can still be used after modification. If the funds on the medical insurance card are not insured, they cannot be used again.

The purpose of the social security card:

1, you can query personal social security related information records, electronic certificates or information query, etc.

2. Record the insured's name, ID number, date of birth, gender, household registration and other basic information.

3, query my pension, unemployment, medical care, work injury and maternity insurance payment.

4. You can also take the social security card to the hospital and go to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

5, for medical care, unemployment, pension, work injury and maternity and other social security affairs.

6, query the total pension insurance, medical insurance and other information.

7. Handle pension and social security affairs, apply for a job, register for unemployment, and even participate in vocational training.

8. Social security cards can also be divided into two accounts, one is a personal social security account and the other is a financial account.

9. The money in the personal social security account can be used to buy medicine in designated hospitals, and the payment of outpatient expenses and the part of hospitalization expenses paid by individuals can be paid.

To sum up: going to a pharmacy to buy medicine is also at a designated medical insurance pharmacy, so you can buy medicine with a medical insurance card and pay only at a non-designated medical insurance pharmacy.
