Is the portal up n running yet ?? I tried registering after bin to Nhis office so many times it's either the server is down or portal is closed .Nhis only favours federal government workers .if you know what is good for you don't waste your time as an individual under any guise. they'll frustrate you with poor services .

First of all, only NHIS staff with code as an operator can register people.

Secondly, we have been registering people for over a year without closure in the portal

Thirdly, we have programmes for every individual whether Federal government workers, students, teachers, traders, business men & women, Private job employers and employees, articians, communities etc

stop passing wrong information about what you don't know, instead try ask questions so you can get knowledge.

GIFSHIP is Group Individual Family Social Health Insurance Program

INDIVIDUAL #45000 annually,
That individual can decide to register alone or add 1 or 2 people under him/her making a total maximum of 3persons.

FAMILY covers 4-9persons at the rate of 15000 per person. Eg #15000 x number of people that wants to be registered

GROUP covers 10 and above people at the rate of #15000 x number of people that want to register.

You have the right to make your own choice of hospital as long as it is on our accredited list of hospitals Nationwide.

Hi....pls I need help on this issue, I registered with NHIS for maternity and the issue is I used my surname instead of hubby's surname which I registered with at the hospital and the NHIS is out now bearing my own surname...pls how do I go about, so it can be useful for me at the hospital

First of all I need to no which of the NHIS programmes you registered for.
If it's through federal government job(formal sector) then you do a Change of name first in your office, bring the confirmation of change of name from your office along with newspaper change of name and marriage certificate, then you write letter which all will be attached in any of our office closest to you.

If you registered as an individual which is an annual program (GIFSHIP), then you can correct your name in the hospital to fit what you have in NHIS.

Thanks for the response. I cant find a number to reach you on. What is the process involved in the NHIS registration and what is the difference between it and HMO ?

For NHIS registration, all staff passport photograph and information i.e names, date of birth, HCP they have chosen etc to NHIS office, registration will be done, code will be give to you for payment in any bank, which is what seals the registration.

HMOs (Health Maintenance Organization) are private companies that operate for profit.
NHIS is a Federal Government regulatory body for HMO and also have different cover programmes for Health Insurance for different persons and groups in every state in Nigeria.

Good work you are doing here.

Please how does a company with about 40 staff register them for NHIS?

Registration will be done in NHIS office and an RRR code give which the company has to make payment for at any bank.

Registration is annually, for a staff of 40 premium while be 40×15000.

Thanks
I registered in August last year and my Edd is late Feb 2022. Is that early enough for them to cover it? Sorry for my many questions

Surgery can only be done 6month after your name is out in the register. But other medical needs will be met before then

Onaswu:


Ok � thanks so much sir

You are welcome

DjBigMoni:
Good morning upmanager, I added a dependant earlier this month and am yet to receive remita code for the payment. Would want to ask, those it start counting after the remita payment has been made or it has started already since have done the registration.

Hope you have gotten the remitta now, if not you need to go back to the NHIS office with the information and passport photo you took earlier to confirm the remitta code so you can make payment. Only payment validates your registration

franebo:


Thank you, seriously suffering from it and think of going for surgery, don't know if there are other processes involved

Please visit the NHIS office nearest to you for registration with passport photograph of interested person's, you should also no the full names, date of birth, HCP of choice, state and local govt of origin and residence

Onaswu:
Please I am under NHIS #15000 , it has expired and I have not renew it due to lack of fund. Please will it still be active, if I renew it with #15000 next year

The program you will do now is GIFSHIP (individual) which is #45000, will cover you with the same benefits and you can add 1 or 2 people

luuvlly:
Good afternoon. Pls does GIFSHIP covers cesarean section? Thanks

Yes but registration has to be done earliest.

I have tried it's just as you discribed but still ended up with Akara. I will like to see a video of you doing it as you say

DjBigMoni:
The hospital i selected under my NHIS said they didn't renew their license with NHIS.
Advice i should apply for change of hospital. How do i go about it.

Go to the NHIS office closest to you with your NHIS number and the name of the new hospital you want to choose

Good morning, my SIL is pregnant and has less than 2 months to go, she just heard about NHIS for pregnant women, how can she go about the registration.

Hello ma, to register for NHIS potential enrollee will go to any NHIS office closest to him/her.

Update as at today.

1. NIN is no more compulsory for GIFSHIP registration
2. More HMOs are on board so you can ask for the HMO of your preference when you want to register

Other information remains the same

blosmed1:
Please upmanager, what is the current cost of enrolling? Individual. Thanks

It is currently #45,000naira which covers 1, 2 or 3 people i.e one person can add one or two people for the sum of #45000.

DDayve:

@upmanagers . Good morning and thanks for helping answer vital questions here. Please I registered for the individual category and made remital payment since on the 2nd of February this year. Its more than 3 months now and I am still told that my registration is no yet out. Is there anything I can do to expedite the process cause my wife is less than a month due for delivery and I am afraid I may have wasted 45k? Thank you. I earnestly anticipate your reply

Registration takes 90days after payment with the RRR code given to you after registration in any NHIS office.
Take my number from the begining of this post and send me a WhatsApp message so I can get more details from you and also help you check

sultan204:
Greeting to Upmanager and every one.
Thanks for your good work educating us here. First of all, I will be detailed so you can know precisely how to help me.
My case is very unique which I haven't got a satisfied answer from anyone or any platform yet. I believe you can assist me.
I am currently serving under the public sector (NPF precisely). recently, I was called upon that i need to update my biodata with my employer. Part of what I should provide is my NHIS ID Number and HMO. Now a three month written salary payment slip has been given to me to take to any health care provider of my choice under NHIS.
This is where I have problem, I am currently separated with my spouse which I don't know whether it could later lead to divorce but we have a daughter which is currently in her custody (that would change as soon as I am settled). I intend to enroll my daughter as a beneficiary and myself but we are in two different state very far apart (I work in the North and my daughter is in Southwest). I use single as marital status at my place of work. Please, i dont even know where to start from cos of all these complications and my employer are on my neck to update these info. Please how should i start this considering that my piority is to extend this benefit to my daughter (that's the most important concern why I have delayed choosing my HCP). Thanks in anticipation.

You can go ahead to choose a different hospital for yourself in the north and choose a hospital in the southwest for your daughter. It doesn't matter whether you are single to add your daughter. If you settle with your wife can add her later.
Hope this helps

Jesterfly:

I am also asking same question @ upmanagers

A family of 4 is #60,000 annually, each of you must have your NIN slip or card and clear, current passport photographs. You can go register at NHIS Abeokuta office

nedzuby:


Good evening,

I went to NHIS office and was told that the family plan is only for 4 people and also the number of HMO is restricted to only 7.

Does this mean that the other HMO will no longer participate again?

For now the HMO is restricted to 7. May be adjusted later.
We have various plans which are individual(maximum of 3), family(4-9people), group(10 to infinity)

nedzuby:


One more question please.

I understand NIN is a most to enroll members of your family, in a case where by I have a child less than 2 years. Will I still need to present NIN for the child before I can enroll the child and also what's the process duration. VCSHIP took 2 months, will this take same period of time before I can start using it?

Yes NIN is compulsory now and a new born child can get NIN too. Duration is 1-3month for now depending on time of registration to when register comes out

nedzuby:


Please state the benefits one stand to enjoy with this new scheme compare to VCSHIP.

How many dependents/people that one can add to this new scheme.

Can one register online like the way people registered for VCSHIP (online registration should be considered as this will be the safest means since FG is considering a 2nd lockdown) and also

Is there an age limit

GIFSHIP still have the same benefits as VCSHIP

GIFSHIP stands for Group, Individual, Family Social Health Insurance Program therefore Individual covers 1-3 people, Family covers 4-9 people and Group is 10 to infinity.

You cannot register yourself online as only selected staff have codes that is used to register enrollees. Even with the lockdown NHIS is open to attending to enrollees

NHIS covers all age
