What an agent can do with NHIF

  • Match the member to their NHIF option from the 3 on file (Umoja Afya, Toto Afya and Huduma za Ziada), with their membership number, from a message or a photo of their card
  • Answer general questions about NHIF cover, and send plan-specific ones to the NHIF service line (+255 26 296 3887) rather than guess
  • Read a claims or benefit statement the member sends and explain each line still owed, in plain words
  • Find network hospitals, clinics and GPs near the member, then give the NHIF service line to confirm before an admission
