§ 03 · Why we exist

Bulgarian dentists lose 2–3 hours a month on NHIF reporting.

"Column mismatch." Invalid structure. Re-upload. A lost day of work — because of formatting, not treatment.

Without DentaFlow
  • Manual code lookup against Ordinance №42 PDFs
  • Excel sheet with manual entry — error-prone
  • Rejected XML from NHIS — "Column mismatch"
  • Rework, re-upload, lose a working day
  • No audit trail — you never know what was sent when
With DentaFlow
  • Codes added during the visit — automatically, in the chart
  • Pre-flight validation — DentaFlow catches errors before NHIS does
  • XML generated in one click, structured per the official XSD
  • Full audit trail — who, when, which period
  • Five minutes a month, not 2–3 hours
§ 04 · Workflow

Four steps. Five minutes. Done.

No hidden complexity. No double work. A linear flow from visit to NHIS.

  1. 01 · During the visit

    Pick the procedures

    Pick procedures from the NHIF code library (per Ordinance №42) — right inside the dental chart. No separate step.

  2. 02 · DentaFlow validates

    Pre-flight check

    Before generating the XML, the platform checks: data completeness, code validity, EGN/LNCH correctness. You get an error list before NHIS rejects them.

  3. 03 · One click

    Generate the XML

    Pick the period (month/quarter), pick the doctors (for multi-doctor clinics), hit "Generate." DentaFlow builds the XML per the official NHIF XSD format.

  4. 04 · Upload to NHIS

    With KEP — same as today

    You upload the downloaded XML to the NHIS portal with your KEP. Same steps you do today — only the XML is correct this time.

NHIS direct API integration — planned Q4 2026. No manual upload.
§ 05 · Capabilities

What's in the NHIF module.

Six capability cards. No marketing language — just what the platform actually does.

403 codes · Jan 2025

403 NHIF codes

Full library of all 403 procedure codes per Ordinance №42, effective Jan 1, 2025. Search by code, description, specialty. Verified by a licensed BG dentist.

Pre-flight check

Pre-flight validation

Automatic check of structure, completeness, and data validity before generating. Error and warning list — each linked directly to the problematic record.

Multi-doctor

Multi-provider export

For multi-doctor clinics — generate a separate XML for each doctor with their own UIN and RHIF code. Period configurable per doctor.

GDPR compliant

Audit trail

Full record: who generated the XML, when, for which period, how many visit records were included. You never lose track of what was submitted.

Complete ZIP archive

Financial reporting document

Beyond the claim, DentaFlow also generates the financial reporting document (FD) — both files in the correct ZIP archive, ready for NHIS.

Roadmap · Q4 2026

NHIS direct integration

Direct API integration with NHIS — no manual upload. In development, planned Q4 2026. Register for launch notification.

§ 07 · Regulatory framework

Regulatory framework — understood, implemented, correct.

Four pillars. Each with its own official source. No "compliance in broad strokes."

Ordinance №42

403 codes

All 403 procedure codes per Ordinance №42, Ministry of Health, Annex 1a, Chapter 6. Effective Jan 1, 2025 (State Gazette №69, Aug 16, 2024). Verified against the official PDF.

NHIS XSD

XSD valid

XML structure validated against the official NHIF XSD for dental providers (effective Aug 1, 2024). Both required files: Claim + Financial reporting document.

GDPR EU

EU hosting

All patient data on EU-region servers (AWS eu-central). DPA contracts with every provider. Patient data never leaves the EU.

Audit trail

Audit

Full record of every NHIF submission — who, when, which period, how many records. GDPR-compliant history. Critical during NHIF audits.

"100% NHIF from day 1."

From the day we switched to DentaFlow — not a single rejected NHIF claim. Not one. The validation catches problems before NHIS sees them.

§ 10 · Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions.

Six questions we always get. If yours isn't here, write to us.

Do you support all NHIF codes from Ordinance №42 (Jan 2025)?
Yes — all 403 procedure codes from Ordinance №42, effective Jan 1, 2025 (State Gazette №69/2024). Codes are verified against the official State Gazette PDF and regularly updated when the Ordinance changes. When the next revision lands, the update is in DentaFlow — not on your side.
Do we still need KEP to upload to NHIS?
Yes — NHIS requires signing with a qualified electronic signature (KEP) by the dental provider. DentaFlow generates the ready XML file; uploading to the NHIS portal is your step (as today). NHIS direct integration without manual upload is planned for Q4 2026.
How does DentaFlow's XML differ from Hipokrat / Medentic?
DentaFlow is a cloud product — accessible from any device, no install. We add pre-flight validation that catches errors before NHIS does — a feature rare among BG competitors. The XML structure itself is identical — it is defined by the NHIF XSD and standard across all software.
Does it work for clinics with more than one doctor?
Yes — for multi-doctor practices, DentaFlow generates a separate XML per doctor with their own UIN and RHIF code, for the selected period. Each doctor manages their own records; the manager sees everything.
When will direct NHIS integration ship?
Q4 2026 — once we have 10+ active BG clinics and meet the NHIF official-listing requirements. You can register for launch notification. Until then: generate the XML from DentaFlow, upload manually to NHIS with KEP — steps you already know.
Which clinics in Bulgaria already use DentaFlow for NHIF reporting?
Carp Dent, Sofia — since 2025. 100% NHIF acceptance rate from day 1. Read the full case study.
