Health and identity cards to be used in parallel for medical services
In October 2026, health cards and electronic identity cards are allowed for parallel use for medical services. The National Health Insurance House announced this measure to ensure service continuity. Signing is not mandatory, and a lack of signature won't invalidate services. Providers are encouraged to use the cards and report any technical issues to improve system functionality.

In October 2026, the National Health Insurance House (CNAS) announced that both health cards (CEAS) and electronic identity cards (CEI) can be used simultaneously for medical services. This decision aims to maintain continuity in medical services and the distribution of medicines and medical devices. Medical service providers can authenticate and sign using either card, though it is not mandatory to sign with them this month.
A missing signature will not cause service validation to be rejected; instead, a 'service not signed' message will appear as a warning. Despite this flexibility, all other applicable rules remain in force. CNAS has urged providers to use the cards whenever possible and to report any technical issues they encounter.
Such feedback is important for improving system functionality and finalizing the operationalization of PIAS components. This initiative seeks to ensure uninterrupted medical service provision and the steady supply of necessary medicines and devices.
