Re: NHIF New Scheme

If the idea is to have the 'haves' to finance the 'have nots' it is a good idea. However I do not understand the thinking that allows a person earning Kshs 800,000/- paying the same as the one earning Kshs. 100,000/- . It is my opinion that the rates should have continued to go up above Ksh 100,000/- just as they do between 0 and 100,000/-

I made a posting here earlier on on how NHIF will utilize these funds. The funds will be disbursed to ACCREDITED HOSPITALS AND LABORATORIES in the country.

WHO WILL ACCREDIT THOSE HEALTH FACILITIES- By now Kenyans must have formed companies that will provide accreditation services. NHIF can not offer this services to mission and private hospitals in the country. It is Kenyan companies that will offer this services. I am sure very soon there will be advertisements in the Newspapers for provision of Accreditation Services and most Kenyans will be caught flatfooted.

I have been involved in Accreditation of the first few centers of Excellence in Mission Hospitals under the GTZ Backup Initiative.

Interestingly NHIF has not developed its own toolkit for this exercise for private and mission hospitals in Kenya.

You can read more on accreditation from ISQUA and COHSASA web sites.

Mungai,

It has been sent to court of appeal by FKE and other stake holders.
I personally do not have issues with the charges but the capacity of NHIF to handle such huge sum of money

Hi all,

The new scheme which has been approved by the court, i think is a good idea, covering both inpatient and outpatient. What i am worried about is how it is being implemented, taking for instance the categories highlighted in their website.( http://www.nhif.or.ke/healthinsurance/hospitals/)
The mind boggling thing is that category A (where members would enjoy comprehensive cover) in nairobi region barely add up to 10 hospitals which is in the capital. Nhif as our national insurer of choice we should have more health providers on Category A than C or B.
A small example to be specific:- I fall sick/ have a terminal illness and i visit the category A health providers it would take me roughly 1 month to get consultation and treatment, then if it is terminal another month or so to have a doctor availed to me to do the surgery or diagnose treatment. This is all in the name of having a comprehensive. Now tell me if i wouldn't go and get private consultation, do a harambee and in 2 months i will be recovering from what i was ailing from.
I have heard of cases where the insurer has worked for some but let us have more health providers on board covering comprehensive covers on category A.

Regards
