Today I will show you how to check NHIF status in 2020. Have you been contributing to NHIF and would like to know the status of your account? We will show you how to check NHIF Balance from your phone quickly.
NHIF has made the life of many Kenyans better by providing a universal medial cover for working Kenyans. Whether you are on Payroll or self-employed, you can contribute to NHIF monthly for you to be able to enjoy the services.
For a long time, for you to check the status of your NHIF contribution, you had to visit one of the offices and wait in the long lines just to get served
But thanks to Technology, these days, it is easier for you to check your NHIF Contribution status via SMS on your phone.
How do I check my NHIF balance?
You can check your account status using your phone. Follow these steps to get your NHIF account status on your mobile phone:
- Open your phone messaging application and compose a new SMS message
- Type the letters “ID,” space, then your National ID number (or passport number if applicable) for example ID 12345678
- Send the message to 21101
- SMS charge service is Ksh 10 above standard rates.
Once you do that, you will receive an SMS with the balance for your NHIF Contribution. Please make sure to check our article on NHIF Rates Here.

NHIF should come up with ways of dealing with emergencies payments. All hospitals are now waiting for 2 days for NHIF authorization. In case of emergencies ie. scans etc. people are making payments hence as a contributor, it’s not making sense. If you can’t trust the hospitals, please come up with better methods so that members can benefit. You can introduce smart cards like insurance companies. Prior authorization from NHIF, is causing inconveniences to members. Otherwise, why make monthly payments to NHIF, and yet we can’t use the card when we are in urgent need?
There’s no other way I can get my statement??. .Not much information is given from 21101
You can also get it from any NHIF office or Huduma center near you.
The process is not going through

When I send my ID number to 21101, I do not get any reply whatsoever. Even when I have airtime in my phone to subscribe the charged no respond from you. What might be the problem? And I contribute my NHIF every month.

This number gives name of Micah born 2004 and yet it cost you ten shillings per SMS.this is part of corruption. Have sent 3 times with same reply

Your statements are just shallow.
