Insurability (MDA)¶
The insurability check (MyCareNet Member Data, MDA) asks the patient’s mutuality whether they are covered on the day of the consultation, and with which status.
You need your eHealth identity first: see eHealth identity and eID sign-in.
Check a patient now¶
On the patient card, click Verify Insurability. The button shows when the card has a NISS or an insurance member code.
WideCare asks the mutuality for today and shows the answer at once. The card is updated: MDA Insured, the mutuality, BIM Status and Last MDA Check.
Ask for more¶
On the answer, New check opens the full check:
Resident: the patient;
Identification: NISS, or Membership number + OA code for a patient without a NISS;
Period: choose Single date (recommended for hospitalisation) and the Date, today or yesterday. With Period, only the first day is asked;
Data to request from the OA: tick Hospitalisation, Reference pharmacy, Global Medical File (DMG) or Palliative status.
Click Check. View MDA request opens the request it created.
The list of checks¶
Practice → Insurability lists every check of the practice, with its patient, its day and the mutuality’s answer. On a patient card, the MDA History button lists that patient’s checks.
The one-day rule¶
The mutualities answer a doctor for the day they ask, or the day before. A check for a period, or for an older day, stops with the message that a doctor asks for one day.
Test mode
While Stub Mode (Development) is ticked in the eHealth settings, the answers are simulated and no request leaves WideCare. See General practice in Belgium.
