Citizens will be able to make online appointments for high performance medical services by free choice of provider. This will be possible due to an information system recently launched in pilot mode by the National Insurance Company in Medicine. When accessing the information system, the doctors will also be able to identify the person in the CNAM database, to verify their insured or uninsured status, IPN reports.

Through SIRSM, the online appointments for the respective medical services can also be made, by accessing the electronic page of the system. This procedure may be carried out by the person who was recommended medical services. If the patient does not use the computer, the appointment will be made by the doctor who issued the referral ticket.

The system can be accessed from computer or from any device connected to the Internet, without the need for additional applications or programs. The database will be continuously updated with information about the medical services prescribed by doctors, the appointments made by them and the patients, the number and volume of services contracted and the real-time performance of services in accordance with the contract concluded with the medical institution.

This system will be used by the end of the year in a pilot mode.
