CRM-DF

What CRM-DF does

CRM-DF (Conselho Regional de Medicina do Distrito Federal) is a Brazilian federal autarchy established by Resolução 112 of the Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM) on March 15, 1961, operating under Lei 3.268/1957 with administrative and financial autonomy and supervisory oversight from the CFM. It holds exclusive legal jurisdiction to register, certify, and discipline medical professionals and medical companies operating within the Federal District, headquartered in Brasília. The council is composed of 42 counselors and currently headed by President Lívia Vanessa Ribeiro Gomes Pansera, with a Vice-President, Secretaries, and Treasurer forming the executive directorate.

Its core functional offering is the unified CRM Virtual service portal ecosystem, which includes online registration and certification, the Prescrição Eletrônica electronic prescription platform connecting physicians, patients, and pharmacists, the CRM Digital / Credencial Médica (e-CRM) mobile credential, the Atesta CFM medical certificate issuance platform, and the Certificado Digital CFM e-signature service. In May 2024, CRM-DF added the Blackbook clinical decision support platform, providing DF physicians with free access to evidence-based guidelines, drug databases, specialty protocols, calculators, and CID-10 lookup with offline mobile access. The platform is built on a centralized digital portal architecture shared with the CFM network, supplemented by LGPD-compliant data handling and public-facing physician and establishment lookup tools.

CRM-DF's revenue model is funded primarily by anuidades (annual fees), a federal tax levied on registered physicians (PF) and medical companies (PJ), supplemented by administrative fees (taxas) for certifications, registrations, and procedural services. Its three customer segments — physicians (the primary segment), medical companies, and citizens — are served through self-service digital portals, a mobile app, in-person service at Brasília headquarters, WhatsApp electronic support, and a public-facing press office. Pricing is not publicly disclosed on the website, and revenue figures are not published, consistent with its status as a non-commercial public regulator.
