Steps
- Confirm that CatSalut has or can recognize the person's public-health coverage/entitlement and identity data.catsalut.gencat.cat
- Request or activate the TSI through the applicable CatSalut/CAP channel if it is not already issued.catsalut.gencat.cat
- Use the digital TSI in La Meva Salut/La Meva Cartera once the CIP is assigned and the digital card is available.catsalut.gencat.cat
That is the whole procedure
If you would rather go through yours with someone, describe it to NEXO first. You will find out what applies to you, and whether you need a person.
What to bring
- Identity documentation and the data/evidence CatSalut requires to identify the person and their coverage route.catsalut.gencat.cat
- Any recognition-of-entitlement evidence requested for the person's situation.catsalut.gencat.cat
What the official sources say
The TSI identifies the holder and carries the CIP/coverage information used by Catalonia's public health system.catsalut.gencat.cat
CatSalut's digital TSI updates automatically and can be displayed through supported digital channels.catsalut.gencat.cat
A TSI does not mean private healthcare providers are covered merely because the card is shown.catsalut.gencat.cat
What we see in practice
NEXO's own observations. They are not official information and carry no source.
- Someone may have usable digital TSI access before relying on a physical plastic card, once the CIP is assigned.
- If entitlement itself is uncertain, route to Service 30 instead of inferring coverage from padrón or immigration status.
Questions people ask
Does empadronamiento automatically give me full public healthcare?
No. Coverage depends on the person's healthcare-entitlement route and CatSalut accreditation.catsalut.gencat.cat
Do I need the physical card?
The digital TSI can identify the holder in supported settings once available.catsalut.gencat.cat
Is prescription copay always €3–€5?
No. Pharmaceutical contribution depends on the applicable coverage/contribution rules.catsalut.gencat.cat
What gets it refused or delayed
- CatSalut cannot establish the person's identity/coverage route or required entitlement evidence is missing.catsalut.gencat.cat
Does any of this sound like you?
- The person does not know which public-health entitlement route applies, or cross-border/foreign coverage may be responsible.
Cases like these need someone to look at the details. Describe yours to NEXO and we will tell you what applies and what to do next.
