The CNDA's missions, initially focused on SESAM-Vitale invoicing, have been extended to ensuring that a health professional's workstation is compliant for access to the Health Insurance Fund's teleservices.
The objective is to ensure the compliance of software developed by publishers in order to guarantee:

• rapid reimbursement times and equal treatment for all insured persons
• third-party payments to health professionals
• a minimum rejection rate for Health Insurance Fund plans
• a unique listing procedure known and recognised by software publishers.

I have a project, how can contacting the CNDA be of use to me?

The CNDA can include your project on its lists in various ways:

• Approval or Qualification for issuing secure electronic invoices
• Authorisation for access to the Health Insurance Fund’s teleservices
• Certification for the invoicing of health care institutions

At what stage of my project should I contact them?

Project sponsors must register on the GIE SESAM-Vitale website to indicate their intention to use one or more Health Insurance Fund services.
With the CNDA, the steps are as follows.

1. Signature of contractual documents
   Whatever the type of software you wish to have listed, you must first download and sign the service contract offered by the CNDA (SESAM-Vitale approval protocol, general and specific conditions for teleservices, etc.). The contractual documents are detailed on the specific page for each procedure and can be viewed directly on the downloads page.
2. Software acceptance by the publisher
   The development of your software must be based on the reference documents that can be downloaded from the GIE SESAM-Vitale Espace Industriels.
   The CNDA test environments and guides allow you to interactively validate the development of each feature and to create an acceptance request for your software.
   The CNDA analyses the request and draws up a report indicating any issues that must be corrected and the tests to be repeated before the request can be resubmitted.
3. Software verification by the CNDA
   This software testing phase is planned with the CNDA. Depending on the results obtained, several test sessions may be necessary until the software is compliant.
4. Software verification by the CNDA
   The CNDA certificate of compliance is issued to the software for a given version number and authorises its distribution to healthcare professionals.
