HMOs are to provide easy accessibility to Health care for their users. Typically, a user will apply to use the closest hospital, pharmacy and diagnostics center for their health care.

Now I wonder why some HMOs ask a user to travel to Diagnostics Center A for over one hour by car at over ₦3000 to get a diagnostic service that can be rendered at Diagnostics Center B at ₦3000 which is 5 minutes walk from the hospital.

I am just very annoyed. My wife in her third trimester is being asked to visit a diagnostic center very far away when she could just do it at a nearby diagnostics center without stress.

Nevertheless, I can't allow my wife go through that stress, I paid; I'm just disappointed in Oceanic HMO.

If the center close to you is registered to their service then you can request them to let you go there.

They are not living up to their expectations jare and its all of them! They seem to be more interested in collecting money and not rendering services.

I wish govt can make nhis voluntary rather than compulsory.

Imagine the new rule now is you must come with picture of you (as the Principal) and your dependants "before" u can be attended to at any healthcare facility.

Normally, in your own case, they were supposed to give u a referal letter to the facility closest to u instead of having u travel several miles.

Bros, prepare to pay money for your wife's delivery if u want the best or else, nhis fit mess up o!

No HMO has the right to do this! I don't believe they did either. It's not part of their duties.

Doctors prescribe not HMOs.

Apparently, they did.

No, they didn't.

You may have misunderstood the whole thing.

You have any proof they did? Report them.
