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

@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

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

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

How can I renew My wife VCSHIP as it has expired

We are awaiting instruments before we can start renewal or registration

elujah1:
Sir, had a case where someone was rushed to a hospital different from the one registered on her nhis, as it was an emergency and a surgery was done, can she get any fund from nhis to help offset the bills?

If the said HCF is accredited under NHIS then the HMO should be involved for federal cases but if the HCF is not accredited by NHIS then no, NHIS cannot do anything about that.

Kunja2:
Hello upmanager. I tried checking the website of nhis but I couldn't find anything to further buttress more. How do I get started ?

You can go to any NHIS closest to you.
You may need to be specific in your questions here

Esthered:
Good morning @upmanagers, I want to register my parents for the NHIS but I work in the organised private sector, am I eligible or I should ask my dad to do it for himself and my mum?

You can register them for vcship

Charlotte911:
Please If I register for nhis this month when is my name likely to come out, because I planned going to their office in ikeja. How can I get there from Ikeja Along bus stop

NHIS Ikeja office is on your way to Allen round about from Ikeja along or under bridge

bennyflipy:
I'm a government employee, would it be advisable to go check it myself or wait officially?

Go to any NHIS or your HMO office closest to you so they can check it. You cannot check it on your own

bennyflipy:
Good day
please I want to know if I can access the Nhis without ID card? we were just enrolled into the scheme some few months ago. thanks in anticipation

If your name has been confirmed to be in the register at any NHIS office, you will be given something in place of the ID card which you can take to your chosen HealthCare For identification.

ABB1:
