How to Register for SHA: Accessing the SHA Portal for SHIF Registration

As we transition from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) to the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) on October 1, 2024, employers must ensure their employees are registered by the September 30 deadline. At Prisms Accountants, we aim to guide businesses through this process seamlessly. The SHA Employer Portal is a crucial tool for managing employee registration and contributions under this new system. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Visit the SHA Website

Go to the official SHA website at https://sha.go.ke. On the homepage, select the option to create an employer account. Begin the registration by providing your company’s details.

Step 2: Verify Your Account

Once you’ve submitted your details, follow the verification process to confirm the accuracy of your information. Instructions will be sent via email or phone. Complete the verification to activate your account.

Step 3: Register Your Employees

After verification, you can input your employees’ details into the system, including names, ID numbers, and any dependents. This step ensures they are properly enrolled in the SHIF program, granting them access to healthcare services.

Step 4: Remit SHIF Contributions

With the registration complete, you can now remit SHIF contributions through the portal. Contributions are set at 2.75% of each employee’s gross salary. The portal allows you to track payments, manage deadlines, and ensure compliance with ease. Timely payments are critical to avoid penalties and ensure uninterrupted healthcare coverage for your employees.

Why Use the SHA Portal?

The SHA Portal simplifies SHIF compliance for employers. It not only helps you manage employee registration and contributions, but also allows you to generate reports, update employee details, and track compliance status—all in one place. This ensures you meet the requirements of the Social Health Act 2023 with ease.

By following these steps, employers can guarantee their staff is properly registered and covered under SHIF, avoiding any disruption in healthcare coverage when the new system takes full effect on October 1, 2024.

At Prisms Accountants, we’re here to help your business navigate this transition smoothly.
