Xinhua News Agency said that on November 24th, the National Medical Insurance Bureau launched the national medical insurance electronic voucher system and issued the country’s first medical insurance electronic certificate. In the future, you can bind your mobile phone by registering and buying medicines. You can “brush your face” without a mobile phone.
The system has been opened in some cities in Hebei, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Fujian, Shandong and Guangdong provinces. Some pharmacies and hospitals in nearly 20 cities can be used for medical insurance payment. The person in charge of the National Medical Insurance Bureau said that the medical insurance electronic certificate will soon cover the whole country, and it is expected to realize interoperability in the future, even in the field.
In the past many years, many incompatible medical cards have been left between different cities and different hospitals, which has added trouble to patients. After the medical insurance electronic voucher is put on the line, it integrates the functions of the medical bill, the medical insurance card and the medical card, eliminating the trouble of carrying and identifying the card, and making the patient’s billing reimbursement simple.
Medical insurance electronic voucher is the only identity certificate for the national medical insurance online business. The insured can open the National Health Insurance APP or Alipay homepage, search for “medical insurance electronic voucher”, brush face authentication, and receive it with one click.
