NHIS assures all providers of payments

Accra, Jan. 9, GNA - The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) on Friday reiterated its commitment to all providers that it would settle all vetted bills submitted by accredited providers. A statement signed by Mr. Ras Boateng, Chief Executive Officer of the Authority, said it had come to its notice that some accredited private providers of the insurance were refusing to render services to health insurance subscribers.

"The NHIA wishes to assure all providers that the payments to them are part of the NUIS statutory payments and therefore reiterates its commitment to all providers in settling all vetted bills submitted by accredited providers as always," it said.

It, therefore, urged all registered members of the scheme to go to any accredited facility for treatment with their health insurance card and they would be served. 9 Jan. 09
