Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security： The electronic social security card can be bound to Alipay and passed the ＂brush face＂ certification.

　　(Reporter Yuan Lu) In the future, I will not be afraid to go to the hospital to see a doctor or forget to bring my social security card when I buy medicine in a pharmacy. Just bring a mobile phone. At the first "Digital China" construction summit in Fujian on the 22nd, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced that the first national unified electronic social security card was officially issued, which will be promoted nationwide. The electronic social security card is uniformly issued and managed by the national social security card platform, and has a one-to-one correspondence and unique mapping with the entity social security card.

　　So, how can we "put" the social security card into the mobile phone? It is understood that citizens only need to search for "city name+social security card" on Alipay’s homepage and pass the "brush face" certification to ensure their operation. Then, if you go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, you just need to show the QR code of the electronic social security card and scan the code to pay as usual, and the medicine fee will be deducted directly from your medical insurance balance, just like showing the physical social security card. If you are in a hospital, the public pays attention to the hospital’s Alipay life number. After the visit, you will receive the information to be paid pushed by the hospital life number in Alipay. Click to enter and select "medical insurance payment", and you can settle it with one click through the electronic social security card.

　　Is the electronic social security card safe? In this regard, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said: "Security can be assured." The electronic social security card is based on ensuring the accuracy and security of the cardholder’s information. When users receive and use the card, they need real-time verification and confirmation from the third-party platform and the national social security card platform, and combined with internet security technologies such as electronic authentication and face-brushing authentication, to ensure that it is a "real person, real name and real card". At the same time, hospitals, pharmacies and other related information directly interact with the medical insurance system, and the data does not go through a third-party platform to ensure the safety of user information.

　　According to reports, at present, citizens of 14 cities including Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Xi ‘an, Chengdu, Xiamen, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Xiangtan, Zhenjiang, Tongchuan, Jiaxing, Yiwu and Kaifeng have been able to complete this operation. The data shows that as of the first quarter of 2018, the number of social security card holders nationwide reached 1.12 billion, with a penetration rate of 80.6%, covering all regions.
