The Chief Executive of the NHIA, Dr. Victor Asare Bampoe, noted that healthcare providers remain indispensable partners in delivering quality healthcare services to millions of Ghanaians enrolled in the NHIS.
“The success of the NHIS depends on the strength of our partnership with healthcare providers. These payments demonstrate our resolve to honour our obligations and ensure that facilities have the resources needed to continue delivering quality healthcare services to our members,” he said.
He added that the Authority remains focused on improving claims management processes, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring greater predictability of reimbursements to support providers’ operations.
The NHIA also used the opportunity to commend healthcare providers for their dedication and sacrifices in serving NHIS members across the country. The Authority acknowledged the critical role providers play in advancing universal health coverage and improving health outcomes for all Ghanaians.
At the same time, the NHIA called on all credentialed providers to continue upholding the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and accountability in the delivery of services and submission of claims. Providers were urged to ensure that claims submitted accurately reflect the services rendered, comply with NHIS policies and guidelines, and support ongoing efforts to safeguard the Scheme’s sustainability.
“As we continue to meet our obligations to providers, we equally count on our partners to adhere to the Scheme’s operational and clinical standards. Together, we can protect the integrity of the NHIS, safeguard public funds, and ensure that members receive the quality healthcare services they deserve,” Dr. Bampoe emphasized.
The NHIA remains committed to strengthening collaboration with healthcare providers and other stakeholders as it works to build a more responsive, efficient, and sustainable National Health Insurance Scheme for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
