When can I start using my NHIS card after renewal

After your NHIS card renewal, there are certain conditions you should meet before you can use it.

Here are how you can use your NHIS after renewal:

1. if the expiration did not extend to one month and beyond you can use it on the same day of your renewal
2. For the age of 6months to 11 years can use NHIS on the same day of renewal
3. Aged from 60 years and above can also use NHIS on the same day of renewal
4. pregnant women can use NHIS on the same day of renewal or register.

If you did not fall on the above category then you have to wait for about a month before you can use your NHIS after renewal.

Meaning that if your NHIS got expires more than one month before renewal and you are not an infant according to NHIS, you are not aged and you are not pregnant then you have to wait for one month before you can use your NHIS after renewal.
