The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has successfully disbursed GH¢270 million to healthcare providers across the country, covering claims submitted and vetted up to October 2024, as well as part of November 2024.
Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye, Chief Executive of NHIA, confirmed in a statement on January 3 that the payments were made within the agreed three-month reimbursement period, and there are currently no outstanding vetted claims.
This latest payment brings the total disbursed by NHIA over the past four months to over GH¢1.2 billion, underscoring the Authority’s commitment to supporting healthcare providers and ensuring the sustainability of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
Dr. Aboagye also urged healthcare facilities to submit their claims on time, reminding them that claims should not exceed a 90-day period.
In addition to this current payment, the NHIA has also made significant disbursements in recent months. On December 1, 2024, the NHIA released GH¢200 million for claims covering September and part of October 2024, following an earlier disbursement of over GH¢335 million on October 9, 2024, for claims related to August 2024.
In September 2024, the NHIA began disbursing GH¢402 million to health facilities to cover claims for June and July 2024. These payments demonstrate the Authority’s dedication to fulfilling its financial obligations to healthcare providers and strengthening the healthcare sector for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
