» Shanghai's social security authorities
announced on June 29 the expansion of an insurance integration policy that will
apply to citizens with health insurance registered in selected cities –
Shanghai, Jiangsu Province's Changzhou and Nantong and Anhui Province's
Ma'anshan.
» They will be allowed to participate in a program permitting them
to get reimbursed for medical expenses where they are living without having to
return to the city in which their insurance is registered.
» This mechanism,
which was adopted last year in Shanghai and some cities Zhejiang, will soon be
expanded to more cities in Yangtze River Delta.
