Psychotherapists
Procedure for allocation of a service provider code
To practise in Luxembourg, I must obtain a licence to practise issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Security.
I apply for my individual service provider code from the National Health Fund by submitting a complete application consisting of the supporting documents listed below.
Documents to be sent to the CNS
- The ‘Information sheet on establishing yourself as a psychotherapist in Luxembourg’(Fiche de renseignements sur l'établissement comme psychothérapeute au Luxembourg)
- A copy of the ‘authorisation to practise’(autorisation d'exercer) issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Security
- A copy of an identity document
- Bank details
Documents should be sent in PDF format to gefo.cns@secu.lu.
Requests in JPEG and HTM formats cannot be opened and will therefore not be accepted.
Electronic data interchange
- General information
- Access to the server
- Documents and Forms
In certain agreements between the CNS and various healthcare professionals, the organisation of the management, transmission and storage of documents is provided for exclusively in digital and electronic form. These include agreements between the CNS and laboratories for medical analysis and clinical biology, physiotherapists and dieticians. For healthcare professions other than doctors and dentists, electronic data exchange is optional.
To participate in the electronic exchange of data, the service provider must connect remotely to a secure space to upload their request files and retrieve the response files that the CNS has uploaded there. To do this, a service provider must:
- Connect to the ‘HealthNet’ secure network to access the CNS server
- Be able to generate application files that comply with the specifications forming part of the agreement and to import the CNS return files into their own database.
In order to ensure an exchange that respects confidentiality and data protection, the service provider must connect to ‘HealthNet’, a highly secure computer network provided by the eHealth Agency. The service provider 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 service providers wishing to connect for the first time are advised to first consult the ‘User guide for activating a new electronic connection with the CNS’ (Guide utilisateur pour activer une nouvelle connexion électronique avec la CNS).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Access to HealthNet and the CNS server is reserved for service providers who have a valid service provider code. If you do not yet have such a code, please follow the procedure for obtaining a service provider code.
Information concerning coverage and invoicing
If I have any questions concerning exchanges with the CNS in the context of the various procedures, I can send them to infopth.cns@secu.lu.
