Procedure descriptions
Institution card (SMC-B) for the authentication of service provider institutions in the non-approved healthcare professions Extension
The SMC-B (Security Module Card Type B) is an electronic institution card and electronic institution ID card in one. It enables people working in the healthcare professions in an institution to access the telematics infrastructure (TI). The TI networks all those involved in the healthcare system and thus enables access to the electronic patient file (ePA), for example, in the future.
There are different SMC-Bs for different professional groups. There is an SMC-B for
- Medical practices, dental practices and psychotherapy practices
- Nursing, obstetrics and physiotherapy facilities
- Pharmacies
You can use this online service to apply for an extension of the SMC-B for institutions with employees that are not organised in chambers. These are
- Healthcare, nursing and geriatric care facilities
- Obstetrics facilities
- Physiotherapy facilities
To extend the SMC-B, you must first reapply for the right to use the card from the electronic healthcare professional register (eGBR). You then apply for the SMC-B from a trust service provider (VDA). VDAs charge an annual fee, which varies from provider to provider.
