The lifecycle, end to end

Three moves that turn healthcare claims from friction into flow.

Every enrollee visit, every preauth code, every settled line — one graph. No spreadsheets, no lost referrals, no month-long adjudication cycles.

01Enroll

Onboard employers, employees, and dependents in minutes — with digital ID cards and instant in-network search.

  • Bulk enrollment for employers and formal-sector schemes
  • Plan assignment with tiered benefits and copays
  • QR-enabled digital ID cards tied to active coverage
  • In-network provider search across primary, secondary, tertiary
02Authorize

Real-time preauthorization for every service, with encounter verification that catches denials before claims exist.

  • 1-hour preauth SLA with automatic emergency escalation
  • 6-step verification against eligibility, coverage, and medical necessity
  • Auth codes with service windows and expiry
  • Full encounter capture — diagnoses, benefits, quantities, tariffs
03Settle

Adjudicate every claim line, apply per-org denial and adjustment codes, and settle providers inside the NHIA window.

  • Per-line approve, deny, or adjust with immutable versioning
  • Configurable denial catalogues across 7 NHIA-aligned categories
  • 60-day settlement tracking with AR aging reports
  • Denial analytics by provider, category, and time
Live flow

From encounter to settlement, without the handoffs falling on the floor.

A single claim moves through Sonecare in a straight line — every state change captured, timestamped, and joinable back to the enrollee, the provider, and the tariff version that was live when the decision was made.

Compliance by design

Built to the NHIA spec, not adapted for it.

Every rule that matters lives inside the model, not in a compliance memo. The platform is the audit trail.

Under the hood

A platform, not a form-filler.

The stuff that makes claims defensible in an audit and payable inside 60 days — modelled, indexed, and shipped.

Adjudicate at the line

Approve, deny, or adjust every claim line — with a version history that survives an appeal.

Snapshotted ICD codes, benefit codes, and NHIA tariffs on every decision. Nothing gets rewritten silently.

Why we're building this

Nigerian HMOs and the providers who serve them deserve infrastructure that works as hard as they do.

Denied claims that resurface weeks later. Providers waiting past 60 days for money already earned. Preauth requests that get lost in email threads. Enrollees turned away at facilities because eligibility can't be verified in real time. This is what “the claims lifecycle” looks like across most of the country, and it's not because the people running it are careless — it's because the tools they've been handed pretend the whole thing fits in a spreadsheet.

Sonecare is a bet that if you model this domain properly — every faction, every rule, every version of every tariff — the friction that's been treated as inevitable actually disappears. Preauths issue in minutes. Claims adjudicate line-by-line. Denials come with a code and a paper trail. Settlements happen inside the window the regulator set.

One platform. One graph. One audit trail — from the first enrollee onboarded to the last naira settled.
