However, with the advancement and improvement of the national healthcare reform policy, some places allow the insured to use their health insurance cards to pay for vaccinations and medical checkups at designated medical institutions. Some places can also buy medical equipment at designated pharmacies, such as blood glucose testers, blood pressure monitors, thermometers, stethoscopes and so on. However, it is important to note that medical expenses that have already been settled and paid for by the individual in cash cannot be offset against the funds later transferred to the card.
You can call Telecom 114 to check the number, transferred to the local social security department, specifically consult your local health insurance policy, to see whether it is permissible to use the card to buy medical equipment, devices and so on.
