ABHA and health-record sharing
Understand health identity and consent before linking records.
Before you start
An ABHA health identity helps with participating digital-health services. It is not by itself a promise of insurance coverage or free treatment. Understand the account and consent instructions before linking or sharing medical information.
Your preparation checklist
- Use the official ABHA service and check the account-creation or recovery options.
- Prepare only the identity and contact information requested by the chosen route.
- Keep access to the mobile number used for account messages.
- Read what a health-record sharing request includes and who receives access.
Complete the next steps
Follow the official creation or sign-in steps and review your profile details. If connecting records through a participating provider, check the patient information and the scope of any consent request. Store account details privately and sign out on a shared device.

Official destination: https://abha.abdm.gov.in. The provider’s current instructions take precedence over this guide.
If something goes wrong
If a medical record is missing or inaccurate, check with the healthcare provider that created it. An ABHA profile change may not correct that provider’s source record. Avoid sharing medical reports with this directory. For treatment, urgent symptoms or coverage questions, use the appropriate healthcare provider or scheme administrator.
