Patient identification in telemedicine

A patient enters a consultation through Gosuslugi. Everything else is without manual entry: a passport, OMS policy and SNILS go into the medical record and the contract, a birth certificate — together with the parent’s passport, a VHI policy — with a check that its holder is the one using it.

What the law requires of telemedicine: ESIA, consent, medical confidentiality

Telemedicine in Russia is medical care under a separate procedure, not a video call with a doctor. A summary of the rules as of 26.10.2026, not a legal opinion.

  • Consultation: Art. 36.2 of Federal Law 323‑FZ and Order No. 193n

    Participants in a consultation are identified through ESIA, and the doctor signs records with a qualified e-signature (UKEP).

    Who confirms identity

    Entry through ESIA

    • To identify and authenticate participants in remote interaction, the unified identification and authentication system is used

    What can be done online

    • Prevention, collecting complaints and history, monitoring, the decision on an in-person visit. A doctor can adjust treatment online only if the diagnosis was made at an in-person visit

    The doctor’s signature

    • Consultation data is entered in the medical records with the medical worker’s qualified e-signature
  • The patient and the contract: Art. 20 and 54 of Federal Law 323‑FZ, Government Decree No. 659

    For a child under 15 consent is given by a legal representative.

    A passport photo — into the medical record

    Consent

    • A medical intervention requires the informed voluntary consent of the patient or a legal representative. From the age of 15 a patient gives it themselves

    An online contract

    • From 1 September 2026 a paid medical services contract can be concluded on a website, in a clinic’s mobile app or through a messenger

    OMS policy

    • A policy is a unique number in the unified register of insured persons. It can be on a form, a card or a barcode on Gosuslugi
  • Data: Art. 13 of Federal Law 323‑FZ and Art. 10 of Federal Law 152‑FZ

    The very fact of seeing a doctor is medical confidentiality.

    Cloud or on-premises

    Medical confidentiality

    • The fact of a visit, the state of health and a diagnosis are medical confidentiality. Telemedicine works in compliance with personal data and medical confidentiality legislation

    Special category

    • Health data is a special category of personal data. It is processed with written consent or by persons professionally engaged in medical activity and bound to keep medical confidentiality

    Consultation recordings

    • Audio and video recordings, messages and images of a consultation are accompanying materials and are kept for one year

Why an error in patient data costs an online service more than a check

A check at registration, not after a complaint

A passport, policy, SNILS and a child’s documents are recognised and matched in one session per adult

  • 01

    One VHI policy for a whole family

    A corporate policy is issued to an employee while their relatives have the consultations. The insurer pays for other people’s visits, and other people’s complaints appear in the insured person’s medical record.

  • 02

    Consent for a child given by the wrong adult

    For a patient under 15 consent is given by a legal representative. If the child’s document and the adult’s passport are not checked together, consent is signed by an unknown person.

  • 03

    A typo moves into the medical record

    A patient types their full name, policy number and SNILS in the app. An error in one digit differs from the register data and surfaces in the contract, prescription and invoice.

  • 04

    A doctor nobody has seen

    An online platform connects specialists from different cities. A diploma and a passport arrive as a photo — a forgery or someone else’s document cannot be told apart by eye.

From a passport photo to a medical record: patient registration in three steps

A patient photographs documents with a phone in your app. After that the service works, and an administrator looks only at disputed fields.

Step 1

Capture in the app

The Web SDK or iOS and Android SDK guides how to photograph a passport, policy and SNILS without glare. For a child — a birth certificate in the same session.

Step 2

Fields and checks

The full name, date of birth, policy number and SNILS are recognised. SNILS is matched with the full name, the passport — for validity, the parent’s full name — with the certificate. Disputed fields are highlighted.

Step 3

Ready for the medical record and contract

The fields go into your medical information system and the contract. Entry to a consultation is through Gosuslugi, and the doctor’s records carry their signature.

Patient fields are ready for the medical record and the contract

Impersonation in telemedicine: someone else’s VHI policy, an adult instead of a child, a doctor with someone else’s diploma

The schemes are typical: a check is needed at policy activation, when a child is added to an account and when a doctor is connected.

  • A “whole family” policy

    An employee activates a corporate policy while their relatives use it. A document and Liveness at activation with a match against the passport photo show that the policy is linked by its holder.

  • Someone else’s child in an account

    An adult adds a child to an account and signs the consent. A birth certificate and a passport in one session show whether the parent’s full names match.

  • A document from a screen

    Instead of a passport — a photo from a monitor, a photocopy or a scan with an editor correction. Anti-fraud flags such traces before the data reaches the medical record.

  • A doctor with someone else’s diploma

    A specialist sends another person’s diploma and passport or a photo instead of themselves. Liveness on onboarding checks live presence, and the face is matched with the passport photo.

Platform doctors and consultants: documents and Liveness on onboarding

For platforms that attract specialists from different cities — before the first consultation. Entry in the federal register of medical workers, the licence and admission to consultations — with the medical organisation (cl. 4 and 9 of Procedure No. 193n). Access recovery by selfie.

  • A passport and a diploma

    A passport, a diploma and continuing education documents are recognised by template: full name, number, issue date, specialty. Anti-fraud flags a pasted-in photo and corrections.

    • Documents
  • A live doctor, not a photo

    A specialist takes a selfie and Liveness in the Web SDK or the app, and the face is matched with the passport photo. A deepfake, a mask or a video from a screen does not pass.

    • Liveness
  • INN and SNILS for a contract

    INN by passport and a full name and SNILS match — 5 ₽ each. Data for a contract with a doctor or a self-employed consultant — without retyping.

    • 5 ₽
  • Repeating the check

    A phone has changed or access to the account is lost — the doctor photographs the passport again and passes Liveness, and the face is matched with the photo in this passport.

    • A document again

Gosuslugi, EGISZ and the medical information system: what they do and what NeuroVision does

  • NeuroVision does

    Recognition of a passport, OMS policy, SNILS, birth certificate, VHI policy and diplomas. Document anti-fraud. SNILS, INN, passport validity. A selfie, Liveness and a face match with the photo in the document. The session log. A cloud in Russia or your perimeter.

  • Done by the systems and the clinic

    ESIA — entry of a patient and a doctor to a consultation. The medical information system — the medical record and booking. EGISZ and registers — data on medical workers and organisations. The doctor — the consultation and the UKEP signature. The clinic — the contract, consent and licence.

  • What we do not claim

    A replacement for Gosuslugi, ESIA and the Unified Biometric System. A check of a doctor in the register and of a policy in the register of insured persons. Work with complaints, diagnoses and images. A medical assessment of anything.

NeuroVision checks confirm documents and identity, while the consultation procedure is set by Federal Law 323‑FZ and Order No. 193n. A clinic reception — on a separate page, AI for diagnostics — in NeuroMed.

Frequently asked questions about patient identification in telemedicine

No. The law names ESIA for this — entry through Gosuslugi. It can be otherwise only for private clinics that are participants in an experimental legal regime and only under its programme. NeuroVision works around the consultation: registration, the contract, a child’s documents, a VHI policy and doctors.

Entry confirms identity, but someone still fills in the medical record, the contract and the VHI policy. A passport, OMS policy and SNILS arrive as ready-made fields, while a child’s documents and a VHI policy may be missing from the profile.

A birth certificate and an adult’s passport are recognised in one session, and the parent’s full name is matched automatically. Whether to admit a representative and how to draw up consent is decided by the medical organisation.

From the age of 15 a patient gives consent to a medical intervention themselves. Younger — consent is given by a parent or another legal representative, and they go through the check.

On policy activation the insured person photographs a passport and passes Liveness, and the face is matched with the photo in this passport. If you need to check again, the check is repeated in full: a document and Liveness again.

No. We do not recognise people by stored face templates. A repeat login is through Gosuslugi or your login methods, and a repeat check is a document and Liveness again.

No. A check session contains documents and a selfie, without complaints, diagnoses and a doctor’s records. Data is processed on the instruction of the medical organisation; with on-premises installation — only on its servers.

Yes. A passport and a diploma are recognised by template, anti-fraud flags a forgery, and a selfie and Liveness confirm that the document is shown by its holder. Entry in the register of medical workers and admission — with the medical organisation.

Yes. From 1 September 2026 a contract can be concluded on a website, in a clinic’s app or through a messenger. The patient’s and the customer’s data comes from the passport without retyping.

Yes, the technology integrates with the Unified Biometric System. Connection to the system and the legal grounds for biometric identification are provided by the medical organisation or its operator.

In the NeuroVision cloud on servers in Russia — images are kept free for 3 months, then by tariff. With on-premises installation — only on the clinic’s servers.

The patient app and the doctor’s account — through the Web SDK and the iOS and Android SDK, the HIS — through the REST API. Test access — 1 month.
