These updates aim to modernize the insurance system, enhancing security and convenience for citizens during medical examinations and treatments.
A Unique Health Insurance Code for Every Individual
Instead of the traditional paper insurance card, citizens will receive a unique Health Insurance Code (BHYT) for lifelong use. This code serves as the basis for insurance benefits and can be integrated into digital platforms such as VssID, VNeID, or the chip-embedded Citizen Identity Card (CCCD).

According to the Electronic Information Portal of the Social Insurance Agency of Dien Bien Province, the Ministry of Health is drafting a circular to guide the amended Health Insurance Law. This includes provisions for the recovery and temporary suspension of electronic health insurance cards.
Specifically, electronic health insurance cards will be revoked if issued to ineligible individuals or if fraud is detected during the card issuance process.
The value of an electronic health insurance card will be temporarily suspended if it is used by someone other than the cardholder for medical examinations or treatments, or if fraudulent or illegal activities are detected in its use.
Upon detecting such activities, the health insurance participant or the medical facility must notify the social insurance agency to request a temporary suspension of the card’s value.
When a card is revoked or its value is suspended, the social insurance agency must inform the health insurance participant.
A suspended electronic health insurance card will be reactivated once the individual who allowed its misuse is legally processed, or if it is verified that no fraudulent or illegal activities occurred.
