Regarding the case of some people in Da Mai ward (Bac Ninh) reflecting that they had paid health insurance (HI) from the end of 2025 but when they went for medical examination and treatment in 2026, they discovered that the card had not been renewed, Bac Ninh Provincial Social Insurance (BHXH) has intervened to handle it.
In the afternoon of September 10, in an exchange with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Ho Minh The - Director of Bac Ninh Provincial Social Insurance - said that the case has been reviewed and handled, and people's rights have been resolved.
Mr. The said that this is "a bad apple spoils the whole barrel", and affirmed that the provincial social insurance sector has handled the case decisively, ensuring full rights for the people.
Accordingly, people have been extended their health insurance cards by Bac Ninh Provincial Social Insurance in 2026, and at the same time ensure full benefits for 5 consecutive years for health insurance participants according to regulations.
Regarding the employee collecting health insurance money in the case, Mr. The said that the Social Insurance agency has transferred the case to the Police agency for investigation and clarification. Regarding whether this person has quit his job or not, Mr. The said that the ward will answer; he himself knows that the ward has dismissed this person.
According to the Director of Bac Ninh Provincial Social Insurance, the locality has good results in developing social insurance and increasing the coverage of people participating and enjoying policies. To achieve this result, the entire government system has participated.
According to him, in the process of implementation, there may still be cases of wrongdoing. "There are also good people, bad people, and people who do "bad things" but have been handled" - he said.
To limit similar cases from recurring, Mr. The said that Social Insurance has implemented many propaganda measures, including information on the commune and ward's loudspeaker system and public listing.
According to Mr. The, one of the reasons why people may encounter problems in this case is the psychology of trusting relatives and neighbors. There are cases where people give money to others to deposit, but the recipient does not deposit it into the social insurance agency.
In addition, some people do not have the habit of proactively checking information on social insurance and health insurance contributions. Meanwhile, participants can look up information on the Electronic Information Portal of the Social Insurance sector, the VssID and VNeID applications.
The Director of Bac Ninh Provincial Social Insurance said that although propaganda has been strengthened, a part of the population still has a mentality of trusting acquaintances and has not proactively checked information. Social Insurance coordinates with localities to propagate on the loudspeaker system, and at the same time publicly list in residential areas for people to easily follow.
Mr. The said that this is an isolated case, but he does not rule out the possibility that similar situations may still occur elsewhere. According to him, cases of wrongdoing will be strictly handled.
