The so-called “digital entry into care,” which will put patients into the pipeline starting with the assessment and enable subsequent bookings through a centralized interface, requires the insured to have a digital identity in the form of a Health ID. To facilitate that, the health ministry will enable insurance companies to offer insured persons secure identification via the eID card option with corresponding electronic residence permits, and, starting on January 2, 2027, through the EUDI Wallet.
