§ Section 340 (3) SGB V in conjunction with the State Treaty on the Establishment and Operation of the Electronic Healthcare Professional Register as a joint body of the federal states for issuing electronic healthcare professional cards and professional cards and for issuing the components for the authentication of service provider institutions (eGBR State Treaty - eGBRStVtr)

For access to the telematics infrastructure (TI) in the healthcare sector, you as a representative of a service provider institution can apply for a follow-up card from the Münster district government once the previous institution card (SMC-B) has expired.

Service description

The institution ID card (SMC-B) enables persons working in the healthcare professions in an institution to access the telematics infrastructure (TI). The telematics infrastructure networks all those involved in the healthcare system and thus enables access to the electronic patient file (ePA), for example, in the future. The process for obtaining the SMC-B involves two steps that are subject to a fee: Renewing your institution's entry in the electronic healthcare professional register (eGBR) and ordering the follow-up card from a trust service provider (VDA).

Process description

1. Electronic healthcare professions register (eGBR)

You reapply to the eGBR for the right to keep an SMC-B. To do this, fill in the application form with your institution's data. To do this, you will need a person working in your institution with an electronic health professional card as well as a scan/photo of a contract for the provision of services in accordance with SGB V or SGB XI (care contract) from your institution and the number of the old SMC-B. Once your application has been received, it will be checked. An administration fee will be charged for the check. Once the check has been completed, you will receive an e-mail with the result of the check and your transaction number. You can use the process number to carry out step 2.

2. trust service provider
