What to Bring When Visiting an SHA Facility in Bungoma
SHA facilities use your ID number to verify membership and check eligibility in real time. Always carry the original — a photocopy is not sufficient for first-time SHA verification.
Some facilities send an SMS verification code to your registered number during the SHA check. Ensure this number is active and accessible when you visit.
Bring any previous hospital cards, vaccination records, or specialist referral letters. This helps the facility understand your health background and speeds up treatment.
If you have employer insurance or private cover alongside SHA, inform the facility upfront so billing is coordinated correctly and you are not overcharged.
SHA covers most basic services but small co-payments may apply to certain treatments or medications. Always ask the facility upfront about expected costs before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions — SHA Facilities in Bungoma
Can I use SHA at any hospital in Bungoma or only accredited ones?
SHA only covers treatment at accredited facilities in its official network. Visiting a non-accredited facility means paying fully out of pocket. In a genuine life-threatening emergency, visit the nearest facility first — SHA can sometimes process emergency claims retrospectively. For all planned visits, use this verified list only.
What if the Bungoma facility I want is not on this list?
Call the facility directly to ask if they are SHA accredited. If they confirm they are but are not shown here, they may have recently joined the network and our list may not yet reflect the update. You can also verify any facility in real time by calling SHA on 0800 720 601.
My SHA status is “Pending” — can I get treatment in Bungoma?
Most Bungoma facilities will not accept a Pending registration. You need to complete your SHA Means Test and get your status to Active before visiting. Call SHA on 0800 720 601 to find out what step is outstanding on your account.
Do I need to pay anything at an SHA facility in Bungoma?
SHA covers most basic services but small co-payments of KES 100–500 may apply to certain treatments or medications. Always ask the facility upfront what costs are expected before your treatment begins — no surprise charges should occur.

What if the SHA system is down at the Bungoma facility I visit?
