The GH¢281,658,680.79 payment was distributed among public, private and mission health facilities as the NHIA continues efforts to ensure providers are reimbursed for healthcare services delivered to NHIS members.
Public Facilities Receive Largest Share
Public health facilities received the largest portion of the latest payment, amounting to GH¢122,734,138.46, representing 43.58% of the total disbursement.
Private health facilities received GH¢104,504,883.03, accounting for 37.10%, while mission facilities received GH¢54,419,659.30, representing 19.32%.
NHIA Promises Timely Reimbursement
NHIA Chief Executive, Dr Victor Asare Bampoe, said the Authority remains committed to promptly reimbursing recredentialed health facilities once their claims have undergone the necessary verification and vetting.
He explained that timely reimbursement is essential to enable healthcare providers to maintain adequate supplies and resources needed to deliver quality services to NHIS members.
“We know the facilities need the payment to procure consumables to enable them to provide quality care to our members, and it is for this reason we ensure that as soon as their claims have been vetted, we promptly pay them,” Dr Bampoe said.
The NHIA said timely claims reimbursement forms part of its broader efforts to strengthen healthcare financing and support uninterrupted service delivery under the NHIS.
The latest payment is expected to provide health facilities with additional resources to sustain operations and continue providing healthcare services to insured members across the country.
