What is NPHIES? Meaning, Requirements & Integration

NPHIES (National Platform for Health Information Exchange Services) is Saudi Arabia's mandatory national platform connecting healthcare providers and insurers. It standardises insurance eligibility, pre-authorization, claim submission and clinical data exchange using the HL7 FHIR standard.

Every provider and payer in the Kingdom must integrate with NPHIES. In practice that means your HIS, EMR or clinic system exchanges FHIR messages with NPHIES for eligibility checks, pre-authorizations and claims in real time — reducing rejections and speeding reimbursement.

SBS connects HIS, EMR, clinic and RCM systems to NPHIES end to end — FHIR mapping, implementation, testing and go-live — and adds denial-management workflows so claims are clean before they are submitted.
