Steps to link your NHIS to GHANA card for fast renewal

For quick renewals, why not link your NHIS to Ghana card?

The Ghana card (NIA card) is one of Ghana’s most widely used identity documents. The majority of Ghanaians have signed the register since it began over a year ago.

The Ghana card integration onto the national mobile renewal platform was successfully deployed by the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) and the National Identification Authority (NIA) a few weeks after registration concluded.

In simple terms, Ghanaians who have both a Ghana Card and a National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) card may now connect their Ghana Card to their NHIS card or vice versa. You can use your NHIS card to attend the health facility once you’ve completed the course.

You may also use your Ghana card to renew your health insurance card. This implies that if you lose your NHIS card, you may use your Ghana card to replace it for everything you would have done with the NHIS card.

To get started, you need to have your Ghana Card and your NHIS card with you. Once you have these two documents, follow the steps below:

1. Dial the short code *929# on your mobile device
2. From the list of the options provided, select option 4 (Link Ghana Card).
3. Enter your 13-digit Ghana Card Identification number (GHA *). (Please include the GHA, and the 10 digits after the GHA, without the hyphen).
4. Check to see if the ID number you enter matches the one on the Ghana Card. If so, press Send.
5. Enter your 8-digit NHIS identification number.
6. Check to see if the ID number you enter matches the one on the NHIS Card. If so, press Send.

Wait for a confirmation message stating that your operation has been successful

Conclusion

Make sure to take advantage of all the perks that come with linking your Ghana Card to your NHIS card now that you’ve done so. There’s no need to stand in line to renew or replace your NHIS card when you may link Ghana to your NHIS card for far renewals.
