What does NHIA health insurance cover in Nigeria?

Nigeria’s federal health-insurance framework is now administered by the NHIA. Benefits and access depend on the programme, health plan, enrolment status, provider and current guidelines.

What to check

Confirm active enrolment, assigned provider, referral path, covered medicines and tests, limits, exclusions, dependants and complaints procedure directly with the plan.

What could change the answer

Older pages still call the system NHIS and may generalise its gaps. Do not assume the same benefit package applies to every enrollee.

A practical next step

Request the current benefit schedule and test it against your preferred providers and ongoing health needs.
