Registries
NHCX has a registry of its own, and it is not a registry of people. After this page you will know what is registered on this gateway and what is not.
The participant registryโ
Every provider and every payer onboards as a participant, in sandbox first and then in production. The participant is the entry: an organisation with a role, not a doctor and not a patient.
The production onboarding document, row 5 of the index, is where the role and registry enums live, along with the validations applied to them. Row 16 is the Postman collection for the participant service APIs. The enum values live there and are not reproduced here.
The participant service is also what a claim is routed by: NHCX sits in the middle and moves messages between registered participants.
ABDM's three registriesโ
ABHA identifies a patient, the HPR a practitioner, the HFR a facility. All three are ABDM wide, and a hospital that is on both gateways will already hold the last two from its HIE-CM onboarding.
How each appears inside a claim is not yet published. No row describes a field, and the two gateways share no API surface, so a mapping copied from HIE-CM would be a guess. The value sets a bundle must use are row 11.
If you need the identifiers themselves, they are written on HIE-CM: registries has all three, and M4 is the milestone that creates the provider side.
