This financial uplift has enabled the NHIA to clear arrears and disburse over GH\u00a21.5 billion to healthcare providers within seven months, strengthening the scheme\u2019s financial predictability. Speaking at the Fifth Annual General Conference of the Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana (PHAFoG), Dr. Bampoe highlighted several reforms, including automated claims processing and e-payment systems, aimed at improving reimbursement timelines and transparency.<\/p>\n He said the Authority is finalizing an evidence-based tariff structure to ensure fair compensation, enhance accountability, and reflect the real cost of healthcare services. He also underscored the significance of the new Ghana Medical Trust Fund (\u201cMahama Cares\u201d), which supports joint investments in facilities, equipment, and specialist training. Dr. Bampoe encouraged private health providers to expand capacity in alignment with the government\u2019s private sector development policy, noting that nearly 30% of NHIS-accredited facilities are privately owned.<\/p>\n Further, he emphasized the NHIA\u2019s commitment to stakeholder engagement through public-private dialogue and co-design processes that shape pricing, benefit packages, and policies. Ethical conduct remains a priority, with a renewed crackdown on illegal co-payments and a push for cashless, accountable service delivery. Dr. Bampoe concluded by reaffirming that strong collaboration with private providers is vital to achieving Universal Health Coverage and building a more sustainable and equitable healthcare system.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 2 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
