mhplus ePA

Since January 1st, 2021, you, as a person with statutory health insurance, have had access to an electronic patient file (ePA) from your health insurance company free of charge. On a voluntary basis, you can securely manage your health data there for life. As the insured person, you have sole data sovereignty and can determine whether and who should have access to your file for how long. You often have to go to the doctor or even to different doctors for every little thing and are examined twice and three times. This usually involves a lot of paperwork. It could be so much easier though. With the electronic patient file, known by the abbreviation "ePA". You can easily apply for the ePA through your health insurance company. It is the personal digital storage place for your health data, like a safe, for which only you have the key and can decide what data you want to put in and share. With your approval, doctors can store diagnoses, findings or medication plans for you in the ePA. And many more functions are planned for the future - in 2022, among other things, the vaccination pass and the maternity pass. If a doctor needs your findings or documents, he first needs the appropriate key, i.e. explicit approval from you. Of course, you don't always have to carry a safe around with you, you can easily transfer your data online and digitally. Unnecessary visits to the doctor are a thing of the past. This makes your life much easier and at the same time relieves the actors in the healthcare system! You always have an overview of your health data - and thus also have your medication plan at hand. With the ePA you prevent double examinations and save yourself and the doctors a lot of time and valuable nerves!
