SIRONA" web application for healthcare professionals in the canton of Bern
We are happy to inform you about new digital services in SIRONA - the web application for healthcare professionals in the Canton of Bern.
OKP approval for individuals
Healthcare professionals can now apply for cantonal authorization for compulsory health insurance (OKP) in SIRONA.
Medical, psychology and non-university healthcare professionals who wish to bill the OKP independently require personal authorization for the OKP. This can now be applied for digitally and securely in SIRONA. SIRONA supports healthcare professionals with information and technical assistance. Information on OKP admission for individuals can be found on the website of the Health, Social Affairs and Integration Directorate (GSI): Admission to OKP for individuals
BAB and OKP approval in one application
A combined application is now available for the license to practice the profession (BAB) and the OKP license.
Healthcare professionals who wish to apply for both an AOD and a personal OKP authorization for the Canton of Bern can submit a combined application in SIRONA. For this purpose, healthcare professionals can continue with the registration of applications for admission directly after registering their AOD applications. SIRONA simplifies the application process and automatically copies data that has already been entered to avoid duplicate entries. Information on the AOD can be found on the GSI website: Professional licenses
Good to know
Existing functions in SIRONA
In addition to the new services, the existing functions in SIRONA can still be used. It is still possible to apply separately for a professional license (BAB). In addition, holders of a BAB from the Canton of Bern can enter their personal contact and activity data in SIRONA and report it to the GSI.
Requirements for the use of SIRONA
A prerequisite for any use of SIRONA by healthcare professionals is a current entry in one of the national professional registers (MedReg, PsyReg, GesReg & NAREG). Access to SIRONA is via the GSI portal and requires a BE login using the professional's private e-mail address.
