The Coverage Gap

Kenya's NHIF Has Zero Coverage in the USA

Kenya's National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) — the country's national health insurer — provides coverage through Kenya's accredited hospital network only. It has no coverage outside Kenya. Private Kenyan health insurers like Jubilee Health Insurance, AAR Insurance, and CIC Insurance are similarly limited to Kenya. Kenyan nationals visiting the USA for tourism, business, education, or family visits must carry dedicated visitor insurance.

⚠️

Kenya has a rapidly growing diaspora in the USA, particularly in cities like Dallas, Minneapolis, and Atlanta. Family visits without US coverage are a significant risk.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get visitor insurance for my Kenyan family visiting the USA?
Yes. You can purchase online on their behalf. Plans are available for all ages and include optional pre-existing condition coverage for older visitors with conditions like hypertension or diabetes.
Do Kenyans need a visa to visit the USA?
Yes. Kenyan nationals require a B-1/B-2 tourist visa to visit the USA. Insurance is not a formal requirement but is strongly recommended.
What happens if my Kenyan family member needs emergency surgery in the USA?
If they have visitor insurance, the plan covers emergency surgery costs (up to policy limits) directly with the hospital in many cases. Without insurance, you would receive the full bill — which can exceed $50,000 for a single procedure.
What is the minimum coverage I should get?
For visits to the USA, we recommend a minimum of $100,000 in medical coverage. US healthcare costs are among the highest in the world, and even a short hospitalization can exceed $50,000.
How do I file a claim if I need medical care?
Call the 24/7 assistance number on your insurance ID card before seeking treatment when possible. For emergencies, go directly to care — your insurer can sort out billing afterward. All major insurers we work with have direct billing relationships with US hospitals.
