My topic for our inhouse training coming up in december 2014 is the Tertiary Institution Social Health Insurance Program (TISHIP).
Am raeding towards it but just to make sure am totally ready for it I will appreciate any question concerning NHIS's TISHIP.
If you have any question concerning other programs you can keep them coming.
Am pleased to annouce the mobile health known as National Mobile Health Insurace Programme (NMHIP). Its is here to replace the VCSHIP which was N15,000. NMHIP is N12,000 annually. Was launched on 21st july, 2014. For now only MTN user can subcite to it but we are hoping thhat pretty soon other network providers will join. Dial *616# with you MTN line.

Happy New Year!
Does NHIS cover ENT surgery such as Adenoidoctomy, Tonsility and Sinus surgery?.

Because at Federal Staff Hospital, Jabi-Airport Road, Abuja. They always insist that as NHIS enrolle, one must pay 4K before you be attended to by ENT specialist at the Hospital.

I spoke my HMO - United Heaith Care, they seem not knowing what to do. And I need to urgently see the ENT specialist for my baby. What can be done now? Thanks

i didn't get my card either while in school but at least I used the benefit. You should make inquiries at the medical centre in your school

Ghyft:
I don't understand

upmanagers:
There are 3 levels of care in NHIS.
1. Primary health care providers- they act as first point of contact and gate keepers. In other words, when choosing a facility, every enrollee has a choice to chose a primary health care provider(hospital). The primary healthcare has about 70% cases yearly.
2. Secondary health care providers- contact with them is through referrals via primary provider.
3. Tertiary health care providers- entry is through referrals via primary and/or seconary providers.

I will go on to discuss enrollee benefit packages, which people are eligible for each programme and how to register

Pizzanatty:
There Is Limit To Liability For An Enrollee Under A Particular Plan And Also Maybe The Plan That Covers U Is Nt Comprehensive Enough To Cover Ur Antenatal Charges. E.G A Plan For Say 26k Cannt Cover For Ur Antenatal. Hence A Plan For Say 50k Will Cover For It.
There Are Hmo Dt Are Accredited By Nhis. The Nhis Makes D Cost To Be Affordable And Also They Still Run Their Private Plans.
