The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) has opened registration for its health benefit programme for eligible Federal Defined Benefits Scheme (DBS) pensioners. This PTAD Health Insurance Scheme (PHIS) can be accessed through the online portal. To register, pensioners need to log in using their PTAD pension number and surname, take a live selfie, and provide personal details such as their address, emergency contact, next-of-kin information, preferred hospital and, if available, their National Identification Number.
After submission, approved applicants will receive an SMS and email notification with instructions on accessing their National Health Insurance Authority card. The scheme covers healthcare through NHIA-approved hospitals and facilities nationwide, but it is not transferable to spouses, dependants, or caregivers. Assistance is available at PTAD state offices for those needing help with the enrolment process.
