Hangzhou's medical insurance service is upgraded, with "face-scanning payment" service available in 224 designated medical institutions and 174 designated retail pharmacies all over the city.

The insured people do not need to open this service separately, and they can use the service by activating the medical insurance electronic certificate via Alipay.

The service has flexible application scenarios, and supports mobile payment scenarios such as ambulances. The settlement process can ensure information security and prevent fraudulent use of medical insurance cards.

Moreover, face-scanning payment facilitates the medical treatment of elderly people, children and special groups.
