What does NAPPI stand for?

National Pharmaceutical Product Index (NAPPI CODE)

 

What does this code mean?

The NAPPI code is a unique coding system (identifier) for medicines, surgical or consumable products and medical procedures which allows you the consumer to claim a rebate / refund from your medical aid.
MediKredit has, over the years, undertaken the task to facilitate the adoption of NAPPI (National Pharmaceutical Product Interface) as a national electronic standard on behalf of the South African healthcare industry.

 

The NAPPI code therefore:

  • Is a recognised medical aid product code.
  • Enables you to apply for reimbursement from a medical aid scheme, but is not a guarantee of reimbursement.

Where can I find the NAPPI Code?

What does this mean for you the consumer?

Please make contact with them and submit the ENTAP NAPPI code when applicable.
We would like to emphasize that the reimbursement of your purchase is dependent on your medical aid provider’s terms.
