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.


What does this mean for you the consumer?

It means that your medical aid might reimburse your purchase. The reimbursement will come out of your medical savings plan.

Please contact your medical aid scheme and submit the NAPPI code provided.

We would like to emphasise that the reimbursement of your purchase is dependent on your medical aid provider’s terms.

How do you claim?

  • Purchase our products available with a NAPPI CODE via our website (www.omninela.co.za) as per normal.
  • Keep the receipt/Tax Invoice that is sent via email to you.
  • The NAPPI code will be on the Tax Invoice.
  • Submit the receipt to your medical aid within 3 months of purchase.
