How can I use the medical insurance code (social security card) to get medicine for the elderly at home who have difficulty going out?

Can children prescribe medicine for the elderly at home who have difficulty going out? Can the money in my medical insurance be used by my family? After applying for "Family Mutual Aid", whose card (code) should be used for medical treatment and purchasing medicine? What consequences will there be if one does not use their own medical insurance for medical treatment? The editor has compiled several questions that everyone is concerned about. Here, we will answer them one by one for you.

一、 Can children prescribe medicine for the elderly at home who have difficulty moving around? Whose medical insurance code (social security card) should be used for registration and prescription?

     Ok. Article 17, Paragraph 2 of the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of the Use of Medical Security Funds" clearly stipulates: "Where it is necessary to entrust others to purchase medicine on one's behalf due to special reasons, the identity proofs of the principal and the trustee shall be provided." Therefore, in special circumstances such as when the elderly have difficulty moving around, their children can purchase medicine on their behalf. When getting medicine dispensed at a hospital or pharmacy, whose medical insurance code (social security card) should be used for registration and purchasing medicine? First, if you use the electronic medical insurance code, you can bind the elderly person's medical insurance code through the "Family Account", and show the elderly person's medical insurance code when registering. Second, if you use a physical card, you need to bring the elderly person's social security card, register under the elderly person's name, and bring your own ID card (social security card) and other identity proof materials.

For example, if Xiao Li goes to the hospital to get medicine for Lao Li, he can bind Lao Li's medical insurance code through the "Family Account". When registering, he can directly scan Lao Li's medical insurance code with his mobile phone to handle the registration.

二、Can the money in my medical insurance be used by the elderly at home?

The balance in the individual account of the employee medical insurance can be used by family members through family mutual aid, but the pooled fund cannot be used in mutual aid. The balance of the personal medical insurance account of the insured employee can be used by close relatives such as parents, spouse, children, siblings, grandparents, maternal grandparents, grandchildren and maternal grandchildren, but it must meet two conditions: First, your close relatives have also participated in the basic medical insurance (including employee medical insurance and resident medical insurance). The second is that you have processed the family mutual aid for the individual account of the employee medical insurance. Please note: The family mutual aid is the balance of the employee's own medical insurance personal account, not the pooled fund.

三、Iii. After applying for "Family Mutual Aid", whose code (card) should be used for medical treatment and purchasing medicine?

Money can be shared, but codes (cards) cannot be used together! Under any circumstances, the patient's own code (card) must be used when seeking medical treatment or purchasing medicine. The family mutual aid policy "mutual aid" refers to the money in the personal medical insurance accounts of the employees participating in the medical insurance, not the code (card) itself. The principle followed by medical insurance is "I participate in the insurance and I enjoy the benefits myself." After the family mutual aid, this principle remains unchanged. Insured individuals still use their own medical insurance for medical treatment and enjoy their own medical insurance benefits as stipulated.

四、What consequences will there be if one does not use their own medical insurance for medical treatment?

Not using one's own medical insurance for registration, medical treatment or purchasing medicine is considered "seeking medical treatment under a false name". According to relevant laws and regulations, the consequences can range from suspending the online settlement of one's medical expenses to committing a crime.
