The difference between medical insurance office and medical insurance center is as follows:

1, the classification of institutions has the following differences:

(1) Medical insurance departments and institutions are divided into institutions, independent operations and intermediate types;

(2) The medical insurance center is divided into maternity insurance department, business management department, audit department, big insurance office, medical service department, chronic disease management department, medical management department, fund collection department, information management department, planning and finance department and comprehensive department;

2, the nature of different institutions:

(1) Generally speaking, the medical insurance sector is a social welfare undertaking, not a commercial economic activity. Therefore, as a medical insurance institution that specifically undertakes this business, it is a non-profit organization, also called a public institution in China, which is different from the general for-profit commercial insurance company.

(2) The nature of the medical insurance center unit is the state administrative organ, which belongs to the local human resources and social security bureau.

3. Their respective functions are different. Because medical insurance activities are highly professional, medical insurance institutions need to participate in the formulation of relevant government policies, regulations and plans. According to the first-hand information, medical insurance institutions actively provide reasonable basis and suggestions for the government to formulate medical insurance policies, regulations and plans, which is also the premise to ensure the effective development of medical insurance business. The functions of the medical insurance center are as follows:

(1) Coordinate the administrative affairs of the unit to ensure the orderly operation of the work;

(2) Responsible for drafting comprehensive manuscripts such as relevant documents, summaries, reports and leaders' speeches;

(3) Responsible for filing, keeping and reading official documents;
