The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has released an additional GH¢151 million to healthcare providers across the country, reinforcing its dedication to ensuring the continuous delivery of quality healthcare under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

According to a statement shared on its official Facebook page, the NHIA revealed that the funds are aimed at settling outstanding claims.

The disbursement covers claims up to March 2024 for higher-tier healthcare providers, while the majority of clients at lower-tier facilities will have their claims cleared through April 2024.

This follows an earlier disbursement of GH¢135.6 million, which was used to clear February 2024 claims for higher-tier providers and March 2024 claims for lower-tier facilities.

NHIA CEO, Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye, reiterated the authority’s commitment to addressing the needs of stakeholders and emphasized the NHIA's ongoing efforts to foster a sustainable and efficient healthcare system.
