NHIA: Visit nearest Gov’t health facility if cash is requested

The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has noted that Mission Health Facilities being members of the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) have suspended services to NHIS card holders.

The Authority regrets this development, and wishes to assure its subscribers and the general public that it is engaging with service providers, including the leadership of CHAG, to settle outstanding issues affecting service providers to ensure uninterrupted health service delivery.

While efforts are being made to resolve these issues as quickly as possible, the NHIA entreats subscribers in need of healthcare who are being asked to pay cash for healthcare services, to visit the nearest government health facility or other service providers, with their NHIS cards, for any medical attention they may require under the NHIS.

It is our understanding, that emergencies and deliveries (and delivery-related cases) are not affected by the CHAG decision to suspend services.

Any inconvenience caused is regretted.

Thank you.
