HELLO NLers.

Please, I want to know if its necessary to have a degree or just working experience to be an HMO Officer.
Currently I work in a hospital that doesn't deal with HMO and as it stands, pressure is coming in as patients that patronise our facility uses one health insurance scheme or the other.

I happened to be the person they call manager with small pay, but I am learner daily on the Job.
I handle most of those jobs related to HMO.

Currently, I need to claim funds from the Police NHIS which I have gone to the Zonal office in Lagos. I have been given all the necessary details and how to go about it.

All I need is , guide or template to write to the Police NHIS for formal relationship with them as well as others.

Please if anyone has any guide, assist me.

So, if I learn on the job, will I be an HMO Officer or I need an extra course or training for it?

I know I can do well as I have learned lots of skills wrt that recently.
I am an Engrr.graduate.

I don't know anything about what you're saying. Let's wait for those in that line to come and demystify it for us.

You didn't even for once let us know wetin be "HMO"??

Na wafir Nigeria o. How person wey study Engineering go dey do medical personnel work? How??

It's as a result of massive unemployment that makes employers to be requesting for paper qualifications while advertising job vacancies.
If you are privileged to be called for an interview and you can prove your competence, you will possibly get the job.

IF it's in Nigeria? No....you just need to know someone who who knows someone, or in other cases you arrange a degree.

Let me wait for the elders

Yes obviously, with a masters self... speaking for bigger multinational companies

I feel you have to learn how to communicate properly before venturing into that. How do you write all these without telling us the meaning of HMO?

How do you mean by HMO?

What's HMO n??

It doesn't require professional cert/degree. Once u can market your services to organizations u are good to go

Did you say you have Engineering degree,and then you are working in a health field??

What's HMO please

Noted

Health Maintenance Organisation (HMO) liaison Officer is actually the meaning.

You do not need a degree to do this, even an OND graduate of any discipline can do this unless you want to be a professional health insurance manager. There is a professional body for that.

All you need is to learn the simple procedures in handling NHIS cases. Just get the NHIS guidelines, read and assimilate the contents. You must be a good communicator also because you will be face with diverse cases day in, day out.

Learn more on how to use email for communication. Those HMO companies you will be dealing with have different orientations and approach to issues, so be ready to be having bad day sometimes, and bad debts to cope with. They can owe your facility more than 5 million and not willing to pay you in the next 10 months. You will have to be patient and tolerate them by writing several letters, calling, messaging and sometimes result to threats to blacklist them and expose their indebtedness to their enrollees and NHIS which is their regulatory body.

I have been there. It's not a job for every dick and harry.

Okay as someone who works in an hospital environment, you really don't need any of the mentioned to be an HMO officer. All HMOs are under Nhis and for example at my hospital, even school cert holders are deployed to the dept. They do the same thing you mentioned which involves communicating with different HMOs especially DHML which is their main HMO there as it is a military hospital.

Hmo means
