What is ABHA address?

An ABHA address serves as a personalized username, granting access to your medical records securely. It acts as a unique identifier ensuring data confidentiality. Each 14-digit ABHA number is automatically assigned a default ABHA address on the ABDM HIE-CM system, appearing in the format of either 14-digit@sbx or 14-digit@abdm.

Through an ABHA or Ayushman Bharat Healthcare Account, individuals can store medical histories digitally, including reports, prescriptions, and insurance details. Access to these records requires a 14-digit ABHA number and address. With consent, data sharing is possible, offering control over health records anytime, anywhere, via registration with a consent manager.
