Overview
- The app is now available free on Android and iOS to everyone affiliated with an Assurance Maladie regime, including MSA and MGEN.
- Activation requires a valid identity document and a short facial video, with verification performed by GIE Sesam‑Vitale agents.
- Health professionals can read the credential by scanning a QR code or, where equipment allows, via NFC, with data feeding SESAM‑Vitale and ADRi services.
- Readiness varies across providers, with an official claim of 95% software compatibility contrasted by lower equipment rates reported for pharmacies (about 65%) and general practitioners (about 24%), so users are urged to keep the physical card as a backup.
- Before the nationwide rollout, 1.8 million people had already activated the digital card, and an added function to include the complementary insurance identifier for mutual billing is planned for 2026.
