Question 1

What is NHCX and why does my organization need to connect?

Accepted Answer

NHCX is India's National Health Claims Exchange — an NHA open protocol that standardises health insurance claims communication. Every hospital, TPA, and insurer in the Ayushman Bharat network must connect to NHCX to support unified paperless adjudication and cashless claim settlement.

Question 2

How long does integration take with the Nexa adapter?

Accepted Answer

Most deployments complete in under 30 minutes for HIS connection via pre-built connectors, with full NHCX endpoint configuration and sandbox testing typically completed within a few days.

Question 3

Is the adapter FHIR R4 and NHA specification compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The HAPI FHIR R4 engine handles native resource validation, transformation, and storage with pre-loaded NHA claim profiles, digital signing, and full NHA-spec compliance.

Question 4

Where can the Nexa adapter gateway be deployed?

Accepted Answer

Fully containerised with Docker and Kubernetes Helm charts included. Deploy on AWS ECS/EKS, GCP GKE, Azure AKS, or on-premise bare-metal servers with zero vendor lock-in.

Question 5

How does the adapter enforce zero-trust security and DPDP compliance?

Accepted Answer

Keycloak-powered IAM handles OAuth 2.0, OIDC, mTLS, and RBAC. Payloads are AES-256 encrypted end-to-end, digital signatures use HSM-backed key management, and full compliance with DPDP Act 2023 is guaranteed.

Question 6

Does the adapter support multi-payer routing and government schemes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connect to all NHA-registered insurers, TPAs, and government schemes — including AB-PMJAY, CGHS, ESIC, and state health programs — through a single integration with zero per-payer custom code.

Question 7

How are failed claim submissions and network interruptions handled?

Accepted Answer

Smart exponential backoff retries with idempotent operations ensure zero duplicate claims on network failure. Every transaction is recorded in a tamper-proof, real-time audit log.

Question 8

Can operations teams monitor claim lifecycles in real time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Real-time dashboards track claim status, SLA breaches, adjudication outcomes, and export automated compliance reports for NHA regulators and internal auditors.

Question 9

Does Nexa offer AI-powered claim pre-screening and denial prevention?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Embedded Machine Learning pre-screens claims against common rejection rules before submission, cutting denial rates by up to 40% and shortening turnaround times.

Question 10

How does the adapter handle existing HIS/EMR legacy data schemas?

Accepted Answer

Pre-built connectors translate proprietary HIS/EMR relational schemas into standardized HL7 FHIR R4 resources automatically, eliminating expensive hospital system refactoring.
