Can Beijing social security card buy medicine in designated medical pharmacies?

1. The social security card in Beijing is different from other regions. Social security cards in many other cities have the function of swiping cards. Individual medical insurance purchases at designated pharmacies will be directly returned to social security cards (medical insurance cards).

2. The personal part of Beijing medical insurance belongs to the medical insurance passbook, which is issued by Bank of Beijing and can be withdrawn. If the medical insurance passbook is lost, it is easy to reissue it. You can go to Bank of Beijing with your ID card. Beijing medical insurance card is more like a discount card for members of hospital alliance. When you see a doctor, you can automatically reimburse public expenses by swiping your card, and individuals only need to pay their own expenses.

The designated pharmacies in Beijing have been connected with hospitals since the end of last year, but in fact, many of them can't be connected with the internet, and hospitals rarely prescribe drugs from outside, so the designated pharmacies in Beijing still sell drugs at market prices.

To sum up, Beijing's social security card can't be swiped at designated pharmacies to buy medicine at present.
