ABDM Integration for Indian Clinics

ABDM (Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission) is India's national digital health ecosystem, launched by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. It creates a unified health ID (ABHA) for every citizen, enables consent-based health record sharing between providers, and is the foundation for PM-JAY digital claims. Clinics on ABDM-integrated software can access patient records from other providers, push prescriptions to patients' phones, and participate in government health schemes digitally.

Yes. OpdNest integrates with the ABDM Patient Registration API. You can create ABHA IDs for new patients directly from the patient registration screen using Aadhaar OTP or mobile OTP verification. Existing patients can also link their ABHA ID to their OpdNest record.

An ABHA Facility ID (also called HFR ID — Health Facility Registry) identifies your clinic on the ABDM network. It is required for your clinic to send and receive patient health records digitally. OpdNest guides clinic administrators through the ABDM Health Facility Registry registration process and links the HFR ID to your account.

After a consultation, OpdNest can automatically push prescriptions and documents to the patient's PHR app (NHA Health Records app). This is done with the patient's digital consent, which is captured during registration. Patients can view all their health records from OpdNest and other ABDM-linked providers on their phone.

ABDM integration is currently voluntary for private clinics but is strongly encouraged by the government. It is required for government empanelled facilities and those participating in PM-JAY (Ayushman Bharat) claims. The government is progressively making ABDM integration a condition for various health scheme empanelments. OpdNest's ABDM integration future-proofs your clinic.

Yes. OpdNest supports PM-JAY beneficiary verification at the time of patient registration — check if a patient is eligible under Ayushman Bharat instantly. For clinics and hospitals empanelled under PM-JAY, OpdNest supports the digital claims submission workflow integrated with the NHA (National Health Authority) claims portal.

No. ABHA Health ID creation and linking is included in all OpdNest plans at no additional cost. ABDM Facility registration support, PHR health record sharing, and PM-JAY eligibility verification are included in the Advanced plan (₹499/month). PM-JAY claims module is available on the Enterprise plan (₹599/month).
