Connect your hospital, insurance platform, TPA, or HMS software to India's National Health Claims Exchange (NHCX) β the NHA-built gateway for standardised, real-time health insurance claim processing. Our certified NHCX integration experts handle the complete technical onboarding: FHIR-based claims API development, sandbox testing, pre-authorisation workflows, cashless claim automation, e-claim compliance, and full production go-live β helping you process faster, reduce operational costs, and meet IRDAI mandates.
The National Health Claims Exchange (NHCX) is India's government-built, FHIR-based digital gateway for health insurance claims β developed by the National Health Authority (NHA) in collaboration with IRDAI. It replaces fragmented, manual claims processes with a single, standardised API framework that allows hospitals to submit claims once through NHCX, which then validates, structures, and routes them directly to the correct insurer or TPA in real time. NHCX integration means connecting your hospital management system, insurance platform, or TPA software to this national infrastructure β enabling automated pre-authorisation, cashless claims, real-time claim status tracking, and end-to-end digital settlement without paper, phone calls, or delays.
Instead of maintaining separate integrations with dozens of insurers, hospitals connect once to NHCX β which routes claims to all 47+ live insurers and TPAs on the platform.
NHCX automates the entire cashless claim lifecycle β from admission coverage verification through pre-authorisation to discharge approval β dramatically reducing hospital receivable cycles.
IRDAI has officially advised all insurers and providers to onboard NHCX. Hospitals processing claims through NHCX also qualify for NHA's Digital Health Incentive Scheme (DHIS) β βΉ500 per claim or 10% of the claim amount, whichever is lower.
From initial NHCX sandbox registration to full production claims processing, we cover every technical layer of NHCX integration for hospitals, insurers, TPAs, and HMS/insurance software vendors.
Register your hospital or clinic as a provider on NHCX and connect your HMS or billing system to the NHCX gateway for end-to-end digital claims submission.
Connect your insurance platform to NHCX to receive standardised claim requests from all network hospitals β replacing bilateral connections with a single, scalable gateway integration.
Onboard your TPA operations to NHCX β enabling direct digital claim receipt, processing, and settlement communication between hospitals and the insurers you manage.
Automate the full cashless claim lifecycle β from digital pre-auth requests at admission through treatment updates, enhancement requests, and discharge claim submission.
Build NHCX-ready modules into your hospital management software β enabling your customers to connect to NHCX directly from their existing HMS without workflow disruption.
Navigate NHA's NHCX sandbox certification process, e-claim standards, and IRDAI compliance requirements with expert guidance from teams who have already delivered live NHCX integrations.
NHCX integration requires more than just API development skills. It demands hands-on experience with FHIR R4 claim profiles, NHA sandbox test case protocols, IRDAI e-claim standards, ABDM pre-requisite integrations, and the specific business logic of India's health insurance claims ecosystem. Our dedicated NHCX developers bring all of this to your project β reducing risk, cutting timelines, and ensuring your integration passes NHA certification and goes live correctly the first time.
We have executed the full NHA NHCX sandbox test suite β handling every claim type, error code, and edge case before production.
Deep hands-on experience with NHCX-specific FHIR R4 claim profiles, coverage bundles, pre-auth resources, and claim response handling.
NHCX requires ABDM M1 integration as a prerequisite. We handle both simultaneously β saving you time and vendor coordination overhead.
We integrate all sides of the NHCX network β hospitals, insurers, and TPAs β giving us a unique understanding of cross-stakeholder claim flows.
We help you configure your integration to fully capture NHA's Digital Health Incentive Scheme (DHIS) rewards per processed claim.
NHCX specifications evolve with every NHA release. We provide ongoing updates so your integration stays certified and production-ready.
Our NHCX integration experts work across the full healthcare IT stack β from hospital management systems and insurance platforms to the FHIR and HL7 standards underpinning NHCX.
Whether you are a large hospital chain processing thousands of cashless claims monthly, an insurance company seeking to reduce manual adjudication costs, or an HMS software vendor building NHCX capability into your product β NHCX integration is a critical step in India's digital health claims transformation.
Submit cashless insurance claims digitally to all empanelled insurers through one gateway β eliminate manual paperwork and speed up reimbursements.
Receive standardised FHIR-based claims from all network providers, automate adjudication, and process pre-authorisations without bilateral integrations.
Digitise your end-to-end claim processing workflow β from hospital submission to insurer settlement β through NHCX's interoperable gateway.
Embed NHCX-ready claim modules into your product to give every hospital customer a built-in, compliant path to digital insurance claims processing.
Connect diagnostic centers and OPD facilities to NHCX as it expands beyond IPD claims into outpatient and pharmacy billing use cases.
Build NHCX-native products that leverage the national claims infrastructure β positioning your platform at the centre of India's digital health insurance ecosystem.
Our integration covers every stage of the NHCX cashless and reimbursement claims workflow β from patient admission to final settlement.
At admission, the system verifies patient insurance coverage and ABHA ID linkage through NHCX in real time β eliminating manual eligibility checks.
Submit digital pre-authorisation requests with clinical details via NHCX β and receive approval, queries, or partial approvals back in structured FHIR format.
At discharge, generate and submit the final claim bundle through NHCX β with digital supporting documents, claim amounts, and diagnosis codes β and track settlement in real time.
We evaluate your existing HMS, insurance platform, or TPA system, identify integration touchpoints, and define the NHCX onboarding roadmap β including ABDM M1 pre-requisites.
We design the FHIR claim bundle structure, API contract, claim workflow state machine, and error handling strategy aligned with NHA's NHCX specification.
We develop and rigorously test all NHCX claim types β pre-auth, final claim, enhancement, rejection, and resubmission β across the full NHA sandbox test suite.
We manage production deployment, NHA go-live certification, staff enablement, and provide 90-day post-launch monitoring and ongoing spec-update maintenance.
