How to Choose or Change NHIF Outpatient Facility

The National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) is mandated to provide accessible, affordable, sustainable and quality health insurance for all Kenyan citizens who have attained the age of 18 years and a monthly income of Ksh1,000 and above.

With the advent of technology and emergence of Covid-19 NHIF has introduced Selfcare platforms which allow members to choose new, confirm existing or change preferred outpatient hospitals for themselves and their dependents.

The deadline for changing outpatient facility has been extended to May 15, 2020.

The changes can be made in three ways using your mobile phone:

• NHIF USSD Code *155#
• NHIF Mobile App (My NHIF)
• NHIF website ( http://www.nhif.or.ke/healthinsurance /nhifselfcare/ )
