Will Shanghai medical insurance be paid in April?

From 2020, Shanghai medical insurance will be recorded in July 1 every year, that is, the "current year account" and "calendar year account" of the medical insurance card will be settled.

Assuming that social security is paid normally in May, the medical insurance fund for a medical insurance year will be received in advance in early July according to the individual contribution base. Before the end of June, a medical insurance settlement will be made for the last year, and the accounts of the current year and the previous year of the citizen medical insurance card will be settled in one lump sum. Then, for new users who pay in mid-July, the medical insurance account will be automatically opened in the month 15 after social security.

Medical insurance generally refers to basic medical insurance, which is a social insurance system established to compensate workers for economic losses caused by disease risks. The medical insurance fund is established through the contributions of employers and individuals. After the insured person has medical expenses, the medical insurance institution will give certain economic compensation.

Medical insurance personal account will be allocated at the end of each month (around 20th). If it hasn't arrived yet, you can bring your ID card and medical insurance card to the front desk of the Social Security Bureau to check and verify, or you can check the personal social security account information online.

In short, medical insurance for Shanghai residents is paid once a year. Shanghai insured persons should use social security cards when seeking medical treatment in designated medical institutions, purchasing medicines in designated pharmacies or handling sporadic medical expenses reimbursement and other medical insurance affairs in medical insurance agencies in this city.
