Providing healthcare through identification card

The project's goal is to offer free healthcare services - within a budget of approximately USD 800 per year (INR 30,000) for each member of an eligible family. RSBY brings together the Indian Federal Government, public and private hospitals, as well as insurance companies.

An individual - or family - health card lies at the core of this program. This card comes in a smart card format, which was considered to be the most simple and reliable.

Providing healthcare through identification card

Such a health card has multiple applications and ensures that none of the stakeholders to this program is deprived. More precisely, the health card enables beneficiaries to choose a partner - a private or public hospital - without having to pay any money in advance. The selected healthcare organizations are given a guarantee of payment, while the insurance companies track all provided healthcare services and monitor the related expenses.

In other words,  the smart card makes it possible to identify the beneficiary, to register every transaction and to generate a report on all healthcare services and treatment for each individual.  

 

The indian healthcare card: a personalized smart card

In the field, mobile enrollment stations are moved from village to village to identify eligible individuals who are instantly issued a smart card that is personalized graphically and electronically, thanks to Evolis card printers.

A beneficiary showing up at a hospital simply needs to insert his card in a reader to trigger the identification process based on an ID key, a personal picture and on fingerprints embedded in the chip.

Healthcare services are then provided after this authentication, and within the individual's annual financial allocation.

The Evolis Pebble  was the ideal solution for this project thanks to its encoding capacities and high printing quality. More than 1,000 Pebble card printers are deployed   to support this public health program dedicated to the economically weak.
