For example, the second and third generation cards in Guangzhou can be used as identification documents for settlement of hospitalization in different places.

After the social security card realizes the national one-card system, everyone can realize the real-time settlement of local and cross-regional medical insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance through the social security card.
