Nghe An changes health insurance card code, people need to pay attention to ensure their rights

Since December 1, 2018, Nghe An Provincial Social Insurance has coordinated with subject management units to review, complete and compile a list of health insurance card issuance and exchange for participants according to the provisions of Decree No. 146/2018/ND-CP, specifically as follows:

- Change the subject code and benefit level on the card from code CK2 to code CC1 for resistance fighters infected with toxic chemicals with a labor capacity reduction rate of 81% or more.

- Change the benefit level on the card from code 2 to code 4 for the subjects participating in the resistance war and defending the Fatherland as prescribed in Clause 5, Article 3 of Decree No. 146/2018/ND-CP (with subject code KC), but not the Veteran subjects as prescribed in Clause 4, Article 3 of Decree 146/2018/ND-CP.

- Change the target code and benefit level on the card from code HN2 to HK3 for people belonging to multidimensional poor households who do not fall into the 02 cases granted the target code HN (people belonging to poor households who do not fall into the cases specified in Point a, Clause 9, Article 3 of Decree No. 146/2018/ND-CP).

- Change the subject code and benefit level on the card from code HN2 to code ND4 for subjects awarded the title of People's Artisan, Meritorious Artisan belonging to households with an average monthly income per capita lower than the basic salary.

- Change the benefit level on the card from code CT4 to code CT2 for people aged 80 and over who are receiving monthly death benefits.

However, in the process of printing and reissuing new health insurance cards for participants, in some cases, participants have not received new health insurance cards and still use old, valid health insurance cards to go to the doctor for examination and treatment, leading to the situation where the subject code and benefit level on the data of the Health Insurance Assessment Information System's reception portal do not match the information on the health insurance card.

Therefore, Nghe An Provincial Social Insurance respectfully requests that the Social Insurance of provinces and centrally-run cities, the Social Insurance of the Ministry of National Defense, and the Social Insurance of the People's Public Security (hereinafter referred to as the Provincial Social Insurance) notify medical examination and treatment facilities in the province when receiving the above cases, to look up information about health insurance card data on the Data Receiving Portal of the Health Insurance Assessment Information System showing that the health insurance card is still valid, then the medical examination and treatment facility will accept to examine and treat the patient and resolve health insurance benefits according to the new subject code and benefit code.

In case, due to objective reasons, some health insurance cards have not been issued or new health insurance cards have not been exchanged for participants since December 1, 2018, the provincial Social Insurance shall notify medical examination and treatment facilities in the area based on the health insurance card data on the Data Receiving Portal of the Health Insurance Appraisal Information System to make payment to patients./.
