PIN and PUK for the eGK
Your access to digital health applications
You do not need a PIN for your electronic health card (eGK) for normal visits to the doctor. However, if you want to use digital applications such as the electronic patient file (ePA) or the e-prescription, your PIN becomes the key technology: you authorize yourself securely with your health card - contactless and protected.
Important
- Check the condition of the PIN/PUK letter on receipt - contact us immediately if the seal is damaged.
- Your PIN is confidential - our employees never ask for it.
- Is your PIN known to third parties or has the letter not arrived? Contact us immediately - we will issue you a new card with a new PIN/PUK.
