Vietnam Social Security has just issued Official Letter No. 168 instructing social insurance agencies in regions, provinces and centrally run cities to continue using the current paper health insurance card blanks until May 31, 2025. This is a solution to ensure the rights of health insurance participants during the period of organizational model conversion, while saving costs and preventing waste.
From June 1, 2025, for cases of requesting to reissue or exchange health insurance cards, local social insurance agencies will not issue new paper cards, unless the participant cannot install the VssID, VNeID application or does not have a chip-embedded citizen identification card.
Instead, people will be instructed to use the image of the health insurance card on digital applications or the citizen identification card with chip to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
