Special Interest Group for IIAS Standards, Inc.
 Special Interest Group for IIAS Standards, Inc. The Special Interest Group for IIAS Standards, Inc. (SIGIS) is a non-profit organization that develops, manages, and certifies industry standards supporting the Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) for processing flexible spending account (FSA), health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), and health savings account (HSA) debit card transactions. The private company is based in San Ramon, CA. SIGIS facilitates compliance with IRS regulations by enabling merchants’ point-of-sale systems to verify that purchased items are eligible medical expenses under IRS code section 213(d). The organization administers certification programs for card processing networks, third-party servicers, POS vendors, and merchants, including IIAS certification and the 90% rule pharmacy registration, which allows pharmacies with predominantly eligible medical sales to accept FSA/HRA cards without IIAS. SIGIS maintains and regularly updates the SIGIS eligible product list, a standardized catalog of IRS-approved healthcare items used by merchants and plan administrators to ensure transaction compliance. Membership services are offered to a broad range of stakeholders—including merchants, payment processors, card networks, manufacturers, and plan administrators—providing access to certification, compliance resources, governance documents, and a help desk. SIGIS also supports integrated payment providers offering IIAS-compliant solutions for both physical and online merchants. The organization promotes consistent transaction processing and higher authorization rates for health benefit cards, while providing educational outreach and regulatory updates. SIGIS collaborates with industry participants and regulatory bodies to align its standards with evolving IRS guidance. The company was founded by Christopher M.
