NAPPI CODE

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 potentially claim a rebate/ refund from your medical aid provider.

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.

Do any FUTURELIFE® products qualify for a NAPPI Code?

Yes, FUTURELIFE® Smart food™ has a NAPPI code:

What does this mean for you the consumer?

It means that your medical aid provider may reimburse your FUTURELIFE® Smart food™ purchase of the above pack sizes. We would like to emphasise that the reimbursement of your purchase is dependent on your medical aid provider’s terms.

How do you claim?

  • Visit a pharmacy that stocks FUTURELIFE® Smart food™ and take the 500g pack to the pharmacist.

  • Inform the pharmacist that you would like to purchase the product via medical aid and point them to the NAPPI code at the bottom of the box. You will also need to supply your medical aid details.

  • The pharmacist will then submit the claim to your medical aid provider. Your provider will then immediately either accept or reject the claim (depending on their terms and your type of plan).
