As of March 14, 2025, 146 coordinated areas in 17 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) including Tianjin, Hebei, Inner Mongolia have opened medical insurance wallets, of which seven provincial medical insurance departments at Hebei, Henan, Anhui, Tibet, Sichuan, Hubei and Shandong have fully opened medical insurance wallets within the province (autonomous regions). The national medical insurance department will make every effort to promote the opening of other regions and accelerate the expansion of the changes in the use of medical insurance wallets.
At the end of 2024, the National Medical Insurance Administration officially launched the national medical insurance personal account cross-provincial mutual assistance. The employee medical insurance personal account can be used across provinces to pay resident medical insurance and pay medical expenses for their close relatives. Medical insurance wallet transfer is a way to achieve mutual assistance in personal medical insurance accounts for close relatives. Using the medical insurance wallet transfer function, individuals can transfer funds from their personal medical insurance account or medical insurance wallet to the medical insurance wallet of close relatives for their medical insurance for settlement of medical treatment and personal payment of resident medical insurance.
