Krankenkassenkarte(n) / Krankenversicherungskarte(n)

Explanation:
Another way of putting it would be "Patientenchipkarte(n)".

Caution: This is quite a speculative answer in addition to Kim's since a.m. terms _could_ also be appropriate.

What's the magic word? PLEASE... Two other magic words for translators: PROVIDE CONTEXT...

Karten mit medizinischen Daten

Explanation:
Some medical cards provide data on a person's medical needs in case of emergency.

freie Heilfürsorge

Explanation:
I am not 100% sure if this fits into your context but I am pretty sure ...(maybe you could provide a bit more context)

In Ireland and, as far as I know, in Britain people who cannot afford private health insurance receive a "medical card" from their social service.

This card entitles them to free medical care ...

There is no equivalent for this in Germany as everybody has statutory health insurance. You therefore might have to be a bit creative, one suggestion:

"zusätzlich zur freien Heilfürsorge erhalten sie ..."

Krankenversichertenkarte

Explanation:
Could be the chipcard which replaced the quarterly papercopy from health insurance.
Of course, this system applies to Germany, other countries may as well have different systems.

The only 100 % correct translation:

Explanation:
- none -

As long as askers do not provide context when requested to, any translation's no more than a guess.

But as long as we provide translations for askers completely ignoring our requests for context they won't change their habits.

No context (on request) - no translation.

Habe fertig. ;)
