HMOs Feeding Fat From Enrolees’ Contributions – NHIS Boss by icarenetwork: 6:05am On Aug 27, 2016 |
The Executive Secretary, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Professor Yusuf Usman, has accused Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) of ‘feeding fat’ from contributions of enrolees without rendering commensurate services.What is your take on this? |

The way hospital officials treat NHIS patients is quite disrespectful. Especially in general hospitals. They are treated like second class citizens without regard. Unfortunate. |

Trunaijian:That's true talk. Even in private hospitals. Most don't have the facility and human capital to attend to the applicants. When you request for transfer, they will just wait for nothing. At the end, the individual will still spend his/her money for health care. It's more like a scam. |

icarenetwork: Don't request for transfer from any hospital. Either fill a form with your HMO or change it yourself via NHIS website. I recommend this DIY |

Gboliwe:Noted. Thanks. |

Current health insurance policies focus on curing illnesses rather than preventing them. |

icarenetwork: What is your point now? |

Gboliwe:Most HMO are not creative in their services. Insurance as we all know is design for emergency situations. Most health insurance program out there are model the same way. I have been to several companies and also find out that many of the workers have never had any engagement with their HMO in the past year. The implication is that most of these persons are only waiting to get sick or develop a health concern before they patronize their HMO. In order word, the HMO are not creative and that is the message the NHIS secretary is passing across. Meanwhile, the best form of treatment for most of the chronic diseases out there is prevention. That is only possible through effective public health education and preventive diagnosis. That is why in developed countries, organizations are now shifting to wellbeing program that focus on the overall health of the people. Although that does not stop them from having an insurance policy in place for emergency cases. |

icarenetwork: HMOs are collecting money but not providing services - thats the message he's passing across. If you've been to an NHIS centre, you'll appreciate what he's talking about. It has nothing to do with preventive medicine, which, BTW, is not the job of the HMOs |

plendil:OK. You are on point |
