The Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana (PHFAoG) has suspended health insurance services for National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) cardholders at all its member facilities, citing the National Health Insurance Authority's (NHIA) failure to settle outstanding claims.

In a statement signed by its President, Dr. Kwame Buabeng-Frimpong, on Friday, April 4, the association disclosed that the NHIA owes service providers for claims dating as far back as September and October 2024, despite multiple assurances.

"Despite numerous requests and engagements with the NHIA, coupled with several promises and timelines given, our member facilities are yet to receive reimbursement for services rendered for such a long period," the association stated.

The PHFAoG highlighted the severe financial strain the delays have placed on member facilities, making it increasingly difficult for them to deliver quality healthcare to NHIS beneficiaries.

The group also expressed disappointment that the NHIA had failed to honour its recent commitment to settle claims by the end of March, as outlined in a March 25, 2025, press release from the Authority.

The association has called for urgent intervention to resolve the impasse to ensure the continuity of health services for Ghanaians enrolled on the scheme.
