At present, the medical insurance management information systems of provinces and cities in China are independent and unconnected with each other, which leads to the insured who seek medical treatment in different places in and outside the province can only settle with the medical institutions in different places in cash first, which leads to the insured being tired of running between the medical treatment place and the insured place. At present, the main problems of medical insurance card are: 1, and the card cannot be used. 2. It is difficult to reimburse after seeing a doctor. 3. The medical expenses have increased. The establishment of a national medical insurance card to facilitate the floating population to seek medical treatment has attracted great attention from all levels, including Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Health.
All parts of the country began to discuss the possibility of realizing the national medical insurance card, and began to make partial attempts. On the 2nd, the Ministry of Health announced the Measures for the Administration of Residents' Health Cards (for Trial Implementation) to promote the realization of "one card" for residents to seek medical treatment in various medical and health institutions at all levels.
