About National Health Insurance Fund:
National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) is an alternative financing option in the health sector which is a result of Governments decision to implement health sector reforms programs.
The Fund's motive is to bring quality health services closer to its members. The Fund has strong financial base to support medical providers. We believe the reliable source of income shall motivate medical providers to provide better services and equip them with all essential drugs and medical supplies.
Coverage
The Scheme is compulsory in nature. The Scheme currently caters for central government employees, including their spouses and up to four children and / or legal dependants. Thus the Scheme covers up to six people in a family.
The NHIF provides a wide range of medical care benefits. The current benefit package offered by NHIF includes: -
Registration fees.
Fees related to basic diagnostic tests.
Outpatient services which include medications as per National Essential Drug list (NEDLIT).
In-patient care at fixed rates per day per level of heath facility (i.e. Health Centre, District Hospital etc.)
Surgeries (Minor, Major and Specialized).
The above benefits evolve around the need to cover members suffering from frequently recurring diseases. The package is to be reviewed from time to time for the purpose of enhancing it.
We believe in collective participation, and we do encourage all stakeholders to give us their views so that we can serve them better.
