Allocating a provider code
A provider who is approved by the CNS Council of Administration is given a provider code, which must then appear on all documents used in relations with the health insurance fund.
Accreditation is granted by the CNS Council of Administration, which meets once a month. It can therefore take some time to issue the accreditation.
Documents required to maintain accreditation
