The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has announced the release of an additional GHS135.6 million to healthcare providers nationwide.
This funding aims to settle outstanding claims for February 2024 for higher-tier healthcare providers and March 2024 for the majority of clients at lower-tier facilities.
According to a press release signed by Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye, CEO of NHIA, this supplementary funding is part of the Authority’s commitment to ensuring the sustainability and efficiency of healthcare delivery under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
The disbursement is expected to close the gap between higher-tier and lower-tier facility payments, bringing the outstanding payments within the three-month reimbursable period agreed upon with facilities.
This latest allocation follows an earlier release of GHS300 million to mixed-tier health facilities across the country in July.
The NHIA has reiterated its dedication to maintaining a robust partnership with healthcare facilities while ensuring that illegal charges are not condoned.
The Authority has expressed its appreciation to healthcare providers for their dedication and support in delivering excellent healthcare services to citizens and has assured of its continued engagement with stakeholders to address concerns and work towards a sustainable and efficient healthcare system.
