The Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana (PHFAoG) has instructed all its members to charge National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) cardholders for services related to unpaid claims.
In a citinewsroom.com report, the association said that this is a result of prolonged delays in reimbursements, with some private facilities reportedly owed up to eight months.
In an interview, the Deputy General Secretary of PHFAoG, Aaron Nyamekye, stated that the outstanding arrears have placed significant financial strain on private health providers, affecting their ability to operate effectively. "Even though government, through the NHIA, has released a statement comforting the service providers that indeed they are going to pay for the services and they have started the process.
We have no qualms about that.
