What your insurance team gains on day one.

Real-time eligibility verification

Patient insurance coverage, active benefits, limits and co-pay confirmed before the appointment via NPHIES or direct payer API — not after the service has been delivered.

Automated prior authorisation

Authorisation requests are submitted to the payer at the point of physician order; approval status is tracked in the system and displayed on the clinical workstation.

NPHIES HL7 FHIR claim submission

Electronic claims generated in HL7 FHIR R4 format and submitted to the NPHIES portal automatically; adjudication responses are processed and posted without manual handling.

Denial analytics

Denial reason codes are captured per payer, tracked over time and used to identify patterns that drive clinical documentation improvements or payer contract renegotiations.

Multi-payer management

NPHIES, Bupa Arabia, Tawuniya, MEDGULF, MedNet and other payers are managed in the same workflow; each payer's specific rules, fee schedule and code set are configured in the system.

Authorisation expiry alerts

Active authorisations approaching their expiry date trigger automatic renewal requests; clinical staff are notified of expired authorisations before proceeding with a service.

Insurance & NPHIES Integration sits at the junction of clinical care and financial recovery.

Insurance & NPHIES Integration sits at the junction of clinical care and financial recovery. Eligibility is verified in the Outpatient or ED registration workflow — the clinical team confirms coverage before a single service is delivered. Authorisations are submitted from the physician's CPOE workstation and appear in the billing module pre-attached to the relevant order. Claims are generated from billing data that was captured automatically from clinical activity — no re-entry, no code translation by the billing team.

For Saudi hospitals under Vision 2030 healthcare transformation, NPHIES is not optional — it is the regulatory backbone of all insurance claims. metaSOFT's NPHIES integration is Phase 2 certified and handles eligibility, prior authorisation, claim clearance and adjudication in a single workflow. Denial rates are tracked by root cause so that finance directors and clinical informatics teams can act on documentation gaps or payer-specific coding requirements before they compound into write-offs.
