  The TSI card, your personal health care card
Your personal health care card (TSI) identifies and accredits you as a person covered by the Catalan Health Service. Your TSI is the key to accessing the centres and services of the public health care system.
  he personal health care card (TSI) is the document that provides citizens with access to the centres, services and provisions of the public health care system. Your TSI is also an easy and reliable way of identifying you, using a personal identification code (PIC) which is printed on the first line.
 
Everyone has to have a TSI.
It is a personal and non-transferrable card for each member of your family, whatever their age.
If you have not yet received your health care card you should report to
 

your primary health care centre (CAP), phone the Sanitat Respon helpline on 902 111 444 or contact the Customer Services Centre of your regional health care offices. They will provide you with information and indicate the steps you need to take to request the card.

Take your TSI with you when you travel
When children travel (separated parents, school excursions, etc.) it is important to remember to provide them or the adult responsible for them with their TSI.
CatSalut provides free health care cards to citizens.

You need to take your TSI with you, when you take a prescription to the chemist's.
 
Your TSI can also be used for pharmaceutical services.
Your health care card provides access to all services
 

provided under the public health system. These services include drugs subsidised by CatSalut.
You must present the TSI of the person in whose name the prescription is made out when buying medicine.
Drugs cannot be given to another person if they are not carrying the TSI.

It is important to keep your TSI in good condition.
· Do not fold it.
· Do not scratch it.
· Do not bring it into contact with magnets.
· Do not place it on equipment connected to electric currents.

Using your TSI for identification purposes guarantees the confidentiality of your information.
