At the same time, it helps to check the information of participants’ latest health care visits to limit the benefits of the health insurance fund.
When having an electronic card, people do not need to bring identification documents. Those who are enrolled in health insurance who have a paper card will be actively converted to the electronic card by the social insurance agency and do not require additional documents. For new participants, after submitting an application for a health insurance card, the social insurance agency will issue an electronic health insurance card to the participants.
By 2020, the social insurance agency must complete the construction and operation of an electronic database on social insurance management nationwide (based on Clause 2, Article 9 of the Law on Social Insurance 2014). Therefore, the upcoming health insurance card will integrate information on social insurance and unemployment insurance to move forward to replace the current paper social insurance book.
