Note:

In case you scan the QR code but do not have valid information about your health insurance participation, you will not be able to see a doctor using the chip-embedded ID card. At this time, to see a doctor, you must present a paper health insurance card and a photo ID.

2. Use VssID application – Electronic social insurance instead of health insurance card

From June 1, 2023, you can use the image of your health insurance card on the VssID application to go to the doctor without having to bring a paper health insurance card.
