Rural medical insurance centers are generally located in county-level medical security service centers. That is, the original county-level new rural cooperative medical management bureau merged with the county medical insurance bureau, and now the institutional reform is the county (district) medical insurance service center, and the centralized department is the county medical insurance bureau. Generally, corresponding service windows and handling unit rooms are set up in county-level administrative service centers.

Significance of establishing rural medical insurance service

At the beginning of the establishment of social and rural medical insurance system in western countries, the degree of industrialization was generally high. Because there are few farmers in these countries, the target of protection is mainly enterprise employees, and there is no separate rural medical insurance.

China is very different from the west. Due to the large number of farmers, the backward agricultural productivity and the lack of social security in rural areas, it has caused serious obstacles to the free flow of labor, the rational allocation of agricultural resources and agricultural modernization. Coupled with historical and practical reasons, China's economy is extremely unbalanced, with prominent dual characteristics and a large gap between urban and rural areas.

From the analysis of the income level of urban and rural residents, the income of urban residents has been higher than that of rural residents, and there is a growing trend.
