The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has disbursed GH¢281.66 million in claims to service providers nationwide for services rendered to members of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
The latest disbursement, processed on 25 and 27 August 2026, brings total claims payments for the year to date to GH¢1.64 billion.
Public health facilities received the largest share of GH¢122.73 million, representing 43.58 per cent of the total payment. Private healthcare facilities were allocated GH¢104.5 million, accounting for 37.1 per cent, while mission health facilities received GH¢54.42 million, representing 19.32 per cent of the disbursed funds.
The Chief Executive of the NHIA, Dr Victor Asare Bampoe, reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to ensuring prompt reimbursement to credentialed facilities to maintain uninterrupted, quality healthcare delivery across the country.
“We know the facilities need the payment to procure consumables to enable them to provide quality care to our members, and it is for this reason we ensure that as soon as their claims have been vetted, we promptly pay them,” Dr Bampoe stated.
The NHIA reiterated its resolve to sustain timely claims payments as part of broader initiatives to strengthen healthcare financing and enhance service delivery under the scheme.
