The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has released an additional GH¢135.6 million to healthcare providers across the country.
This funding aims to settle outstanding claims for February 2024 for higher-tier healthcare providers and March 2024 for most lower-tier facilities.
The NHIA’s payment strategy seeks to reduce the gap between higher and lower-tier facility payments, ensuring that the only outstanding payments owed by the Authority fall within the agreed three-month reimbursable period.
This latest disbursement follows an earlier release of GH¢300 million to mixed-tier health facilities nationwide.
NHIA CEO Dr. Dacosta Aboagye emphasized the importance of this financial support, stating, “The Authority recognizes the vital role healthcare providers play in the success of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and is committed to maintaining a strong partnership with facilities while preventing illegal charges.”
The NHIA’s ongoing efforts to timely disburse funds reflect its commitment to sustaining the operations of healthcare providers and ensuring the continuous delivery of quality healthcare services to all citizens.
