Currently, I have been granted health insurance belonging to the near poor category by the State. Now that I’m working for a company, I am granted the business health insurance but the rate is only 80%. I have requested to convert the code to enjoy higher health insurance benefits for the near poor, but the company told me that they asked the social insurance agency of Binh Tan District and received this answer: Employees who have worked at companies are only entitled to the business health insurance and the benefit codes cannot be converted. Please tell me if this is right or wrong. Thank you!
According to Official Letter No. 2745/BHXH-BT dated July 23rd, 2018 of Vietnam Social Security on solving problems regarding collecting and issuing health insurance cards and completing and issuing social insurance codes to people participating in health insurance, people belong to the poor and near-poor households when working are granted health insurance cards as for the employees working for businesses (80% of medical expenses are covered by the health insurance fund within the scope of health insurance payment).
