The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has announced the disbursement of GH₵180 million to various healthcare providers nationwide.
This payment, executed on Friday, March 22, corresponds to claims processed and verified up to December 2023.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, March 26, the NHIA affirmed that this disbursement fulfills its mandate as a healthcare service payer in Ghana, covering disease conditions outlined in the NHIS benefit package.
"The NHIS benefit package encompasses over 95% of disease conditions affecting Ghanaian residents and is complemented by a list of more than 550 medicines to address all covered ailments," the statement highlighted.

The Scheme's management reiterated its commitment to ensuring the delivery of high-quality healthcare services to its members.
“With this payment, the NHIS is on track and not in arrears as it stays within the accepted 90-day window for the payment of vetted claims.”
Meanwhile, the NHIA said it is collaborating with the Ghana Health Service, the Christian Health Association of Ghana, and other stakeholders to comprehensively review the NHIS Medicines Tariffs for appropriate adjustments to be considered.
As a measure to eradicate illegal fees and extortions demanded from vulnerable NHIS members at some healthcare facilities, the NHIA and key stakeholders have resolved to increase public education about the scheme and its benefit package.
"We entreat all NHIS members to report any incidents of illegal charges or extortions to your local NHIS District Office, the Call Centre on 6447 (MTN & Vodafone), or via our official social media handles (NHIS) ghana) for redress."
