The Cartão Nacional de Saúde (CNS), also known as Cartão SUS, is the user identification document in Brazil's Unified Health System. It has 15 digits and is issued by the Ministry of Health. Each Brazilian who uses SUS has a unique CNS, linked to their CPF. CNS is required for SUS appointments, vaccines, hospitalizations, surgeries, and high-cost medication dispensing.
CNS starts with digits 1, 2, or 7 (depending on the category). For CNS starting with 1 or 2, the number is derived from PIS/PASEP and date of birth. For test generation purposes, the algorithm verifies the number's consistency through a specific formula: the 11-digit PIS base generates a 15-digit CNS through weighted sums, verifying that the number has remainder 0 when divided by 1045.
Hospital systems, electronic health records, telemedicine platforms, DataSUS integrations, and pharmacy systems use CNS as the main patient identifier. In developing and testing these applications, having valid CNS numbers that pass format checks is necessary. Numbers generated by Help4Dev are completely fictitious and protect the privacy of real patients.
