Procedure for assigning a service provider code

To work in Luxembourg, I need a license issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Security.

The CNS then provides me with a service provider code, in accordance with the laws that provide for compulsory agreements. This means that the agreements between the CNS and professional groups apply to me as a service provider.

Before starting my activity, I must obtain this code by submitting a complete application to the CNS, accompanied by the necessary supporting documents.

Electronic data exchange

In certain agreements between the CNS and various healthcare professionals, the organization of the management, transmission, and storage of documents is provided for exclusively in digital and electronic form. These include agreements between the CNS and medical analysis and clinical biology laboratories, physical therapists, and dietitians. For healthcare professionals other than doctors and dentists, electronic data exchange is optional.

To participate in electronic data exchange, service providers must connect remotely to a secure area where they can deposit their request files and retrieve the response files deposited there by the CNS. To do this, service providers must:

  • Connect to the secure “HealthNet” network to access the CNS server
  • Be able to generate request files that comply with the specifications set out in the agreement and import the files returned by the CNS into their own database.

In order to ensure confidentiality and data protection, service providers must connect to HealthNet, a highly secure IT network provided by Agence eSanté. Service providers must then request a username and password to access the CNS server, which is also connected to HealthNet.

The relevant forms and user guides are available below. New providers wishing to log in for the first time are advised to consult the “Guide utilisateur pour activer une nouvelle connexion électronique avec la CNS"(User guide for activating a new electronic connection with the CNS) first.
