As  of November 13, the number of medical institutions in Beijing that have  enabled mobile payment with medical insurance has increased to 170,  while that of the pharmacies supporting online medicine purchases with  personal medical insurance accounts has risen to nearly 500.

By  paying with their medical insurance accounts on their mobile devices,  individuals covered by Beijing's medical insurance program can complete  online registration at hospitals and real-time settlement of outpatient  expenses without the need to go to the service windows or stand in queue  at self-service machines for payment. They can use this feature  on "Jing Tong" mini-program or the relevant hospitals' Apps.

In  addition, pharmacies that support online medicine purchases with  personal medical insurance accounts can now be found in Beijing's 16  administrative districts and Beijing Economic-Technological Development  Area. Currently, the numbers of such pharmacies on JD.com and Meituan  Apps have reached 491 and 490 respectively. Every individual covered by  Beijing's medical insurance program can open any of the two Apps, search  for "Beijing Medical Insurance", and enter the section for purchasing  medicines with medical insurance accounts. After filling in the delivery  address, he/she can choose a nearby pharmacy that supports online  payment with medical insurance, select medicines marked with "Covered by  Medical Insurance", place the order, and choose "Pay with  Personal Medical Insurance Account in Beijing". He/she will then be  redirected to Alipay's webpage for the online authorization of the  Electronic Certificate for Medical Insurance. After finishing the  authorization, he/she may use the money in his/her personal medical  insurance account for payment.
