The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has started the disbursement of an additional GH¢402 million to health facilities nationwide. 

 

The disbursement, according to a statement from the NHIA to the Ghana News Agency signed by its Chief Executive, Dr Da-Costa Aboagye, covered claims submitted and vetted for June and to July 2024, bringing the NHIA within the agreed-upon three-month reimbursement period.

Public health facilities, it said, had received GH¢223,920,270.93, representing 56.03 per cent of the total amount, while private health facilities had been allocated GH¢106,477,070.40, accounting for 26.64 per cent.

 

Quasi-public health facilities and mission health facilities also received significant allocations, it said.

The payment brought the total amount released by the NHIA in recent times (September) to GH¢800 million, demonstrating the Institution’s commitment to supporting healthcare providers and ensuring the sustainability of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

 

The NHIA’s prompt claim payment, the statement explained, reflected its commitment to improving timely payments and ensuring the continued provision of quality healthcare services to NHIS members.

 

The NHIS’s generous Benefit Package addresses over 95 percent of disease conditions and includes more than 550 medications on the NHIS medicines list.

 

The NHIA expressed gratitude to healthcare providers for their dedication and support in delivering quality healthcare services to Ghanaians.

 

“The Institution is committed to engaging with stakeholders to address any concerns and work collaboratively towards a sustainable and efficient healthcare system,” it said.

 

On August 17, 2024, the NHIA released GH¢151 million to cover claims from March 2024 for higher-tier healthcare providers and from April 2024 for lower-tier facilities.

 

That was preceded by a GH¢135.6 million payment in July, which settled claims up to February 2024 for higher-tier providers and up to March 2024 for lower-tier facilities, it noted.

 

On Tuesday, April 30, 2024, the NHIA released GHS170,775,035.07 to cover predominantly claims of January and February 2024 for lower-tier facilities, and up to November 2023 for upper-tier facilities and healthcare providers.

 

On Friday, March 22, 2024, the statement said the Authority paid GH¢180 million to various categories of healthcare providers across the country for claims submitted and vetted up to December 2023.

 

On February 13, 2024, the NHIA paid GHS130,244,000.00 to 4,850 Mission, Public, Private, and Quasi-Public healthcare providers nationwide largely for claims submitted for the month of October 2023.

 

The NHIA’s ongoing prompt payment strategy, the statement said, was a positive step towards strengthening Ghana’s healthcare system, maintaining strong partnerships with healthcare providers, and ensuring the delivery of quality healthcare services to all NHIS subscribers.
