PRODUCT ENHACEMENT – SMART ONE TIME PIN


PRODUCT ENHACEMENT – SMART ONE TIME PIN






Smart Applications International, provider of the revolutionary Automated Medical Scheme management solution using biometrically controlled smart cards, currently in use by all Medical Insurance companies in Kenya has introduced an additional feature to their existing biometric medical smart card system.

Over the years, access to healthcare services has primarily been through each members’ smart cards and fingerprints which are stored in the card. Introduction of the One Time Pin capability enhances and extends the customer experience for inclusivity to staff and dependants in the following categories:-
  1. Physically handicapped patients with no arms
  2. Patients undergoing cancer treatment affecting their fingerprints.
  3. Patients with a history of smoking over a long period of their lives thus affecting their fingerprints.
  4. Extensible use during no contact scenarios

This new feature comes as a reprieve to many HR professionals who have staff and their dependants who have experienced challenges accessing healthcare using their fingerprints. The new feature has these benefits:-

KEY FEATURES
a)    The OTP pin generated is unique and cannot be re-used
b)    Allows for real-time authentication of the members accessing healthcare service therefore mitigating against identity fraud
c)    Easy to Use – Only your mobile number is needed
d)    Provided Contactless authentication during the Covid pandemic period.

SET-UP
For set-up and onboarding to the OTP platform, please contact your medical scheme administrator and insurer.
