Question: Reactivation flow for users who received a second diga prescription code #67

Problem

DiGA prescriptions are only valid for a specific amount of days. Ideally, users want to continue using the app and receive a second prescription code by their insurance. Do you or @gtuk have any experience on how the validation and billing apis handle DiGA codes for users who have already entered a code? Can they enter the new code before the existing one expires?

Would be grateful if you already have some experience with this topic and can share it :)

We dont have any experience with this unfortunately. Would be good to know though!

Based on what we observed:

You can validate codes even if there is another one still "active"
The day of service provision will be the date when you validated the code
The digavid is your digaId + 000 e.g 12345000 or your digaId + 001 e.g 12345001 (000 is a first prescription and 001 indicates a follow up prescription) -> as far as i remember it correctly, i can't find the relevant info at the moment anymore, so take this point with a grain of salt

Thanks, that's very helpful :)

Yep, I don't have a link to the documentation either but this is also how we understand the digavid. In the initial PR for the documentation I added the question to the FAQ section. I can open a PR to clarify it there based on your response.
