Apply for a health insurance card once in Taipei.

Apply for a health insurance card once in Taipei.

(Taiwan Business Daily News) starting from May 20, Taipei City can accept newborn "attachment insurance" and "making a photo-free health insurance card" at the same time. I hope that apart from sharing the joy of the public, it will also enable the public to grasp their health and happiness!

In order to facilitate citizens to apply for health insurance cards at the same time when applying for birth registration for newborns in their families, the Taipei City Government has cooperated with the Department of Health Insurance. Starting from the 20th, when applying for birth registration at household offices in various districts of Taipei City, the household staff of "dependent insurance" and "making photo-free health insurance cards" will take the initiative to ask the applicant, if they are willing to apply for "dependent parent-dependent insurance" and "making photo-free health insurance cards" for newborns. The household will transmit the information of this service to the Health Insurance Department, which will immediately deal with the insurance of the newborn, make a health insurance card without photos and send it to the parents, and inform the health insurance unit of the newborn father or mother that the application procedures have been completed, so that as long as the novice parents go to the house, they can complete the newborn birth registration, attached insurance and health insurance card application at one time, and there is no need to attach additional documents. There is no need to pay extra to save time and money for people to travel between the two places to bid, which is really very convenient!

In addition, the Taipei City Government cooperates with the Health Insurance Department to handle the "operation of changing identity data and issuing health insurance cards". People who apply for a change of name, serial number or date of birth in Taipei can apply for a new health insurance card at the same time. The household administration office will transmit this service information to the Health Insurance Department, and the Health Insurance Department will immediately make the card and send the health insurance card to the parties concerned. The service is scheduled to be accepted when system testing is completed in July 103.
