New Prescription Execution Process Using Barcode in the General Health System

March 24, 2026

Starting Friday, beneficiaries of the General Health System can use a barcode for their prescriptions at pharmacies. This means they won't need to verbally inform pharmacists of their personal details. The barcode will be available online through the Beneficiaries' Portal and can be shown via mobile or tablet. Pharmacists will scan the barcode to execute the prescription immediately. Beneficiaries can also show their identity card if they prefer not to verbally provide their personal information.
