NHIS
The four capitalized letters NHIS stand for the National Health Insurance Scheme. It was created in 1999 to provide Nigerians with better health care and a number of different prepayment systems to pay for their medical services.
Patients who choose to become a part of the National Health Insurance Scheme can enjoy all the benefits offered by NHIS. It is necessary to pay fixed price for your membership. These payments make the common funds controlled by the Health Maintenance Organizations and used by Scheme participants to pay for their medical treatment.
List of NHIS accredited hospitals
When you apply for NHIS, you can be referred to one of the two types of hospitals:
- Primary service providers
- Secondary service providers
Everything depends on the medical investigation and treatment you need (whether it is physiotherapy, diagnostic, surgery, etc.). It is necessary to get HMO’s approval before attending a hospital. However, this rule does not apply in the case of an emergency.
