What NPHIES Integration Covers
Operated by the MoH and built on HL7 FHIR R4, NPHIES is the national hub for electronic claims, prior authorization and clinical data exchange.
Prior Authorization
Electronic prior authorization for procedures, medications, and services needing insurer approval — no paper workflows.
Patient Health Record Exchange
Clinical records shared between facilities toward a unified national record — encounters, ICD-10-CM diagnoses, and LOINC results.
National Patient Identifier
National ID for citizens and Iqama for residents are the primary identifiers; mismatches get data rejected or misattributed.
Drug & Formulary Integration
Systems map local medication data to the national drug and formulary codes maintained by the Saudi FDA.
FHIR Conformance & Certification
Built on HL7 FHIR R4 with Saudi-specific profiles, NPHIES requires conformance testing of all profiles before production.
The NPHIES Integration Process
A structured path from MoH registration to live production — each step tied to the deliverables that determine NPHIES conformance.
Why NPHIES Integration Is Essential for the Saudi Market
NPHIES is required for any system deployed in the Kingdom.

Vision 2030
The data infrastructure behind Vision 2030's digital health reform — every Saudi-market product must align with it.
Claims Gateway

Frequently Asked Questions
[ 1 ]
Is NPHIES integration required for all healthcare facilities in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. The Saudi MoH mandates NPHIES connectivity for all licensed public and private facilities. New facilities need a connectivity plan to obtain an operating license.
[ 2 ]
How does NPHIES relate to the Saudi health insurance sector?
NPHIES is Saudi Arabia's central claims platform for mandatory health insurance, regulated by the Council of Cooperative Health Insurance (CCHI). All provider-insurer claims flow through it, so integration is essential for reimbursement.
[ 3 ]
What coding systems does NPHIES use for clinical data?
NPHIES uses Saudi-adapted coding: ICD-10-CM, LOINC, Saudi FDA drug codes and CPT plus Saudi-specific procedure codes. Systems must map internal codes to these national standards.
