Legal analysis: First, the time for medical insurance reimbursement after discharge is limited, and the insured must go through the medical insurance reimbursement procedures within the specified time. 1. If the insured person is hospitalized in a designated networked hospital, he can directly settle the medical expenses on the spot when he leaves the hospital. However, due to special circumstances, such as the insured seeking medical treatment in medical institutions in other provinces and cities, the insured must first pay medical expenses, and then go through the procedures for reimbursement of medical expenses at the social insurance institutions in the insured areas. In this case, there is a time limit for medical insurance reimbursement when leaving the hospital. 2. Time limit for reimbursement of medical insurance in different places: At present, China has not fully realized the nationwide networking of medical insurance. Therefore, when the insured goes to a different place for medical treatment, he must first pay the medical expenses, and then bring the ID card, social security card, hospitalization expenses list and other materials to the social security institution for reimbursement of hospitalization expenses. In order to ensure the safety of medical insurance funds, various regions in China have restricted the time for reimbursement of medical insurance in different places. Due to different local conditions, the time limit for reimbursement is also different, but the basic requirement is 6 months to 1 year. According to China's current medical insurance policy, it is generally not reimbursed if the medical insurance reimbursement time is exceeded. General medical expenses are reimbursed in the same year, not every other year. Those who are hospitalized on New Year's Eve should also settle and reimburse the medical expenses of that year. If it is overdue, it can't be reimbursed. Therefore, it is hoped that the insured can apply for reimbursement to the local medical insurance institution in time after the relevant expenses are incurred.

Legal basis: Article 45 of the Constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC). China citizens have the right to get material help from the state and society when they are old, sick or disabled.

The state and society guarantee the life of disabled soldiers, provide pensions for the families of martyrs and give preferential treatment to the families of soldiers. The state and society help arrange the work, life and education of blind, deaf, dumb and other disabled citizens.
