Accordingly, residents can use chip-based ID cards synchronized information with health insurance cards to replace health insurance cards.
If the chip-based ID cards show information related to social insurance and health insurance participation, patients will be received health checkups and treatment as per current regulations.
If the people’s information is not appropriate, patients will have to use health insurance cards along with identification cards.
