If registered as a member, NHIF allows you to choose or change hospital online. It allows you to select a hospital of your choice for the main member and the dependents and at any given time, you can change the selected hospital for each member. This service can be achieved through the NHIF self-care portal. This self-care portal is an online platform that allows self-registration, choice of hospital, payment of monthly contributions, payment of penalties and arrears.
Apart from the online self-care portal, you can also change the NHIF hospital facility by dialing USSD *155# or using the ‘My NHIF’ app. This app can be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store in your smartphone.
