Applications of Social Security Card Readers in the Medical Industry:
1. Hospitals: When seeking medical treatment and purchasing medicine at designated hospitals, insured employees can swipe their social security cards or their Alipay medical insurance code at card readers. However, they cannot withdraw cash or make transfers. Social security cards can be linked to personal medical insurance accounts. These cards contain a chip and are used for identity verification and payment from personal medical insurance accounts when seeking medical treatment or purchasing medicine at pharmacies.
2. Pharmacies: Insured employees can purchase medication at pharmacies by swiping their social security cards at card readers or using their Alipay medical insurance code. However, they cannot withdraw cash or make bank transfers. They can only purchase medications included in the medical insurance catalogue, and the government will deduct payment from their personal medical insurance accounts for these medications.
3. Social Security-Related Units: With your social security card, you can register for employment and unemployment at relevant departments, apply for unemployment insurance, and apply for employment training. You can also use your card to apply for work capacity assessments and work-related injury insurance benefits. The social security card is the key that opens the door to communication with the system in the hands of workers. With this key, cardholders can access information online and, in the future, handle labor and social security matters online. Anyone can use their social security card at any social security bureau or its subordinate street offices to handle services related to the social security card, including social security, benefit payments, elderly care and disability assistance, healthcare, annual park passes, urban transportation, living expenses, and financial services. Gradually, multiple cards will be integrated into one, enabling universal use in government public services, such as identity verification and query, and the payment of livelihood subsidies and benefits.
