PTAD Launches Health Insurance Registration for Pensioners

The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) has initiated registration for its health benefit programme aimed at eligible Federal Defined Benefits Scheme pensioners. This registration is conducted via the PTAD Health Insurance Scheme online portal, where pensioners can enroll and access healthcare benefits.

Eligible pensioners must log in using their PTAD pension number and surname, with first-time users required to complete an identity verification process that includes taking a live selfie. They must also provide personal information such as their address, emergency contact, next-of-kin details, and preferred hospital, along with their National Identification Number if available.

Upon submission, approved applicants will receive notifications via SMS and email regarding their National Health Insurance Authority card. The health benefit allows access to NHIA-approved hospitals and is non-transferable.

Assistance is available at PTAD state offices for those needing help with registration. Registration is free and can be completed through the designated portal.
