The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) in Ghana offers a convenient way to link your Ghana Card to your NHIS Card using a USSD code accessible through your mobile phone. This method eliminates the need to visit an NHIS district office, saving you time and effort.
Steps:
- Dial the USSD Code: Open your phone’s dial pad and enter *929#.
- Select NHIS Card Option: Once connected, navigate the menu and select the option for “NHIS Card.”
- Enter Your Details: You’ll be prompted to enter your NHIS membership number. Enter the eight-digit number carefully.
- Follow Instructions: The system will provide further instructions based on your specific situation. These might include entering a verification code or confirming your details.
- Confirmation: Upon successful linkage, you’ll receive a confirmation message on your phone.
Important Notes:
- Ensure you have an active mobile phone subscription to use the USSD code.
- This method currently works for existing NHIS members. New registrations might still require visiting an NHIS office.
- The NHIA website (https://www.nhis.gov.gh/) and official channels will provide updates on any changes to the process.
