There are two search options in the Health Pro Directory:

• A keyword search (Who ? What ? Where ?) that allows you to find professionals in matching establishments;
• A detailed search (Profession, specialisation, skills, ID, place of practice) to target health professionals or health structures.

The RPPS has restricted access content. You need to log in to the Health Pro Directory to access these data. The use of a CPS card as means of authentication is required:

• if you carry a Director of Establishement (CDE) card or a liberal CPS card, you may automatically access the information whose access is granted to you;
• in other cases, accessing the directory with a CPx-type card may need a prior enrolment process with the ANS. You will need to fill a RPPS access request form.

You need a card reader in order to authentify yourself with a CPx-type card.

For further information, read our pages to the CPS and e-CPS.

It is compulsory to have an individual CPx-type card to log in to the INSi teleservice. Three types of cards are supported: CPS, CPE, CPF. 

CPx cards issued before December 2020 have a contactless chip that prevents from overwriting its code.

The new CPS R3V3 cards that are now in circulation have a Mifare Desfire chip. These cards can stock crypto-secret keys that work with the Mifare Desfire protocol.

All the information about this feature is available in the Manual to deploy contactless CPx cards (available to download below). One must be cautious about the data inserted in the chip’s writing code.

We strongly advise against using this section of the chip to stock access rights. The ANS recommends you to use the ANSSI guidelines on using a "transparent" reader in connected mode. This does not involve a cryptographic protocol during a badge authentication – only the UTL (logic treatment unit) takes part in the cryptographic protocol.

ANSSI advises against setting up a “smart” badge allowing a double authentication breaking from the UTL.

All the recommendations on securing systems for physical access and video projection are available in the document below, "Recommendations on securing systems for physical and video projection access".

This midware allows the interfacing between computer applications, such as the Vivoptim doctors portal and the CPS card.

The national ID is on the first line of your CPS card:

• Add a “8” before your RPPS ID, for example: 81234567890 ;
• Add a “0” before your ADELI ID, for example: 01234567890.
