In the age of digitalisation and growing health concerns, having a tool that keeps all your health records in one place is crucial. That is where the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) Card comes in.

The ABHA Card was introduced as part of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). It comes with a 14-digit unique number that you can use to access a portal that connects and displays all your current and previous medical records, including but not limited to diagnostic reports, prescribed medications, and health insurance cover details.

Steps to Set Up Your ABHA ID Using Your Phone Number

You can set up an ABHA ID with your phone number using the following steps —

• Step 1:

Visit the ABHA official website. Depending on your phone, you may also download the ABHA application from the App Store or Google PlayStore.

• Step 2:

Find and click the “Create ABHA Number” button on the homepage. It will take you to the next screen, where you can choose between ‘Generate via Aadhaar’ or ‘Generate via Driving Licence.’

• Step 3:

Share the details based on your chosen option. Next, scroll down to the screen and tap the checkbox to accept the terms and conditions. Now, click on the ‘Submit’ option.

• Step 4:

Once your Aadhaar or driving licence number is entered, you must share your mobile number linked to the UID. Next, click ‘Submit.’

• Step 5:

Check your mobile phone for an OTP. Type it into the provided field and press "Submit.”

• Step 6:

The portal will present your details, such as name, Aadhaar information, and date of birth. Make sure everything is accurate.

You will need to generate an ABHA address, similar to how you create an email address. Pick a unique ABHA address and set a secure password.

Conclusion

Setting up your ABHA ID using your phone number is a quick and straightforward process. With this digital health ID, you can securely store and access your medical records anytime. Follow the steps described above to set up your ABHA ID and take a step towards seamless healthcare management.

Although the portal allows registration using either an Aadhaar Card or a Driving Licence, the former is still required to validate your identity and link your mobile number.

3. Does an ABHA Card provide health insurance?

No, the ABHA Card does not provide health insurance. It is a digital health ID that enables secure access to healthcare services and records.
