Since entering the SESAM-Vitale terminals market in 1998, XIRING has worked closely with healthcare professionals to meet their requirements with the development of tailored solutions. XIRING is currently the market leader for SESAM-Vitale terminals with almost 60% overall market share.

This year at Pharmagora, XIRING will unveil the new pharmacy counter updating service which ensures simple, secure billing: PRIUM-Service+, approved by the "GIE SESAM-Vitale"*.

Thanks to the addition of a module to the PRIUM-3S**, "PRIUM-Service+" enables automatic updating of the Vitale card which certifies the authenticity of the owner’s rights and guarantees a valid billing process.

The solution is ergonomic, fast and intuitive, as the card is updated by simply pressing a key, and the billing is linked up without removing the Vitale card. Information is interchanged through the network, enabling the card to be updated in record time. As a result, the service facilitates the processing of claim forms, speeds up reimbursements and reduces disputes, delays and associated processing costs.

PRIUM-Service+ is specifically designed for use by pharmacists and complements the "Point XIRING V2" service available for self-service use by card owners in dispensaries.

* The Groupement d’Intérêt Economique SESAM-Vitale (Economic Interest Group) is a service provider which aims to provide the technical expertise and development and promotion around the SESAM-Vitale programme. The GIE SESAM-VITALE was created by the partners of French Health Insurance to develop common solutions to meet the needs of all its members, whether they are part of compulsory schemes or complementary insurance organisations.

** The PRIUM-3S is the first fixed solution of the TRIFENTE generation of SESAM-Vitale smart card readers that provides optimised billing thanks to its three independent card-interfaces which allow the simultaneous use of Vitale cards, healthcare professionals' cards and mutual insurance cards. It is the benchmark Pharmacy solution.
