The dematerialization of procedures continues, including in the health sector.
The government has indeed undertaken a vast plan to digitize the medical sphere.
At the top of the list, the Vitale card, an essential smart card to justify your rights to health professionals and obtain your reimbursements.
A new app
In spring 2019, the Ministry of Health launched the testing of a new mobile application called “apCV”.
Downloadable from a smartphone or tablet, this tool contains all the data of a classic Vitale card and allows reimbursement of acts and services under the same conditions as the plastic version.
The app also offers access to various services such as your personal space on Ameli.fr, the official health insurance website, as well as the attending physician's declaration.
Despite concerns in terms of security and protection of personal data, the plan is as follows: obtain your health information more easily.
Two years of testing
For the moment, the apCV app is only tested in a handful of territories.
The Rhône and the Alpes-Maritimes were the first pilot departments from the spring of 2019. And while this trial run was due to end in May 2020, the government decided to extend the experience.
A decree published in
the Official Journal
of October 14, 2020 renews this test period for twelve months, extending it to the Ain-Rhône and Provence-Azur funds of the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA).
In the departments concerned, the app is provided free of charge to affiliated volunteers who can then use it instead of or in addition to their plastic Vitale card among health professionals participating in the test.
The objective is to generalize the device during 2021.
