Frequently Asked Questions About Card Readers
An eHealth card terminal is a card reader used within the healthcare system to read electronic health cards (eGK), healthcare professional cards (HBA), and practice cards (SMC-B) within the telematics infrastructure (TI). Unlike a payment terminal, it does not process financial transactions but is used exclusively for secure patient identification and insurance data management.
Only devices approved by gematik may be used within Germany's telematics infrastructure. Approval is mandatory because only certified terminals can be connected to the TI connector. A gematik-approved card reader meets these requirements and ensures compliant operation within healthcare practices and institutions.
Setup involves connecting the device to the TI connector and the practice network. A valid gSMC-KT card is required to authenticate the terminal within the telematics infrastructure. After inserting the device card and configuring the practice management software, the terminal is ready for use.
ECC stands for Elliptic Curve Cryptography, the encryption technology used by newer generations of electronic health cards. An ECC-capable terminal can process current and future health cards reliably, making it a future-proof investment. ECC support should therefore be an important consideration when purchasing a new terminal.
Stationary terminals are permanently installed at reception desks and remain continuously connected to the TI infrastructure. Mobile terminals are designed for home visits and remote care settings, allowing health card data to be captured offline and synchronized later. The best choice depends on where and how healthcare services are delivered.
