koolg: Private plan from any HMO is a programme organised by the said HMO in accordance with the money paid by individual or firm. It is totally different from NHIS programme 1 Like |

alexola20: You are very welcome. 1. Go to any NHIS office 2. Please read my second post in page 1 3. Depend on the plan you intend to go for. If its individual then it would be National Mobile Health Insurance Programme which goes for N12,000 |

akpumping7720: If your organisation has 10 staff and above You can enrol for NHIS Organised private sector (ops) programme which covers a staff(principal) spouse and 4 kids under 18years.the cost would be 5% of the staff cumulated salary (employer pays 3.25% while employee pays 1.75%). If you are in lagos you can call me. or go for a the individual plan through the National Mobile health Insurance programme which is N12,000 per year per person.

I have been working as HMO/NHIS Representative in Portharcourt for the past 5yrs. NHIS does not cover any infertility treatment. You are on your own when it comes to that. The 10% co-payment is paid at all secondary care and on all out patient treatments, you will pay that percentage. Reasons: after registration, your name will be posted to the Nhis accredited hospital of your choice. Nhis thepays 750 naira on each enrollee monthly to the chosen hospital. This is also referred to as capitation payment. You are expected to maintain a particulaf hospital but If you are porting to another hospital, or on emergency basis.. You will be require to pay the percentage for all out patient diagosis until ur name will be sent to them. Thank you. 1 Like |

i'm so happy for a thread like this and just want to ask few questions 1.i registered my ex-girlfriend as my dependant on the rumours that if you're not married you won't be eligible for NHIS,now im happily married and want to change her to my dependant. please how can i go about it? 2.it was rumoured in some quaters that NHIS cost administered per annum is #300,000 so once your treatment exceed the said amount you will have to pay for the rest.please how true is that? 3.on the green card that was issued to me on registration,ROSENBURG was written there and i think its the contractor if i'm right?. is there a law stating that i should be paid that said amount above if i didn't fall sick at all throughout the year? (afterall the money is allocated for my treatment as government official) lol! please let me have your say on these issues........ |

upmanagers: I'm just wondering if that address is the headquarters of the NHIS. I also wonder why you didn't choose the Ilorin office instead or the port Harcourt office. |

I need to appreciate UPMANAGERS for opening an educative thread like this one. There have been a lot of myths and corners cutting practices by people involved in managing people who are registered and we do hope you can answer these as we follow you on your threat. Nice work. Someone talked about restrictions in terms of dependants : children limited to 4 and spouse limited to one. If you are polygamous or you have more than 4 children, you can actually pay an additional token per annum to make these people benefit from what the others enjoy in terms of health care. I'm sure UPMANAGERS can get us the exact amount and the registration process. For every insurance scheme, there are usually limitations to the extent of claims; exclusions were included in the benefits under NHIS programmes to preserve the scheme. People who wish to have better coverage actually subscribe to premium plans that some HMOs offer. |

I have been using nhis since 2011. The general impression all of us have in the office is that, If u are seriously sick. Better go to a hospital where u will pay money and be treated properly. These hospitals, because they know that u are not paying instant cash, they tend to treat u with levity. A personal experience, I was made to sign a whooping 15000 naira for malaria treatment. I wasn't even given bed. Just an injection. The next time I was sick, I just went to a pharmacy shpoint and bought an ACT. Summary is, the poor attitude of hospital attendants to NHIS patients is very discouraging and If this initiative must thrive, this issue must be addressed As a matter of urgency. Thank u 5 Likes |

alstacs: NHIS headquaters is at plot 297, shehu yaradua way, utako district, abuja. I put lagos zonal office address because am lagos and ikeja state office address because that's my office. For federal government staff and Organised Private Sector (OPS) A principal with more than one wife or more than four children can enrollee them under him as his/her extra dependants. Other people that fall under extra dependants are the principals sister(s), brother(s), parent(s), inlaw(s). To do this, the principal gets a commercial bank draft worth N9000, payable to National Health Insurance Scheme. |

smsdigito: Then endure their incompetence silently. The reason why there is a regulatory body is for hospitals who may want to cut corners and engage in sharp practices. You should report such hospitals to your HMO who will take it up from there. If you don't, and nobody does, it goes on and you have to just "enjoy" it |
