The Carte Vitale is the health insurance card of the national health care system in France. It was introduced in 1998 to allow a direct settlement with the medical arm of the social insurance system. The declaration of a primary health insurance company (''Caisse primaire d'assurance maladie'') substitutes the card usage.〔(Health care in France ). French Property Links. Accessed May 23, 2012.〕 Since 2008, a second generation of smart cards is being introduced - the "Carte Vitale 2" carries a picture for identification and the smart card has additional functions of an electronic health insurance card to carry electronic documents of the treatment process.〔(Carte Vitale ). Accessed May 23, 2012.〕 The first generation had been a family card carrying the names of all family members thereby simply declaring they are covered by the French social security health care while non-residents would need to use the European Health Insurance Card to prove their health insurance status.〔(Government - Healthcare in France ).
