A Tarjeta Sanitaria Individual (TSI) is a personal identification document required for all members of the public health system in La Rioja, Spain. The TSI is an electronic identification card that facilitates identification of the person in a rapid and convenient manner. It includes information like a digital health record and an electronic or direct prescription, and helps healthcare professionals in their work. The TSI is also used to access health care services.
If you are looking for a mobile application to use with your Tarjeta Sanitaria, download the TARGET application. You will need your n number from your Tarjeta Sanitaria and the fecha of your birth. The application will allow you to request citas with your primary care professional, and will save those citas in a secure system. You can manage more than one user with this app.
Upon requesting a new tarjeta, you will need to present your DNI or Libro de Familia. If you are not sure about your identity, you can mail the document to the administrative services of the health centre. When traveling within the country, you will need your TARJETSA to prove residency. Once you have your TSI, you can use the services of any public health care facility in Spain.
