The following vital performance indicators amplify the positive growth: • Out-patient utilisation of the NHIS rose to 29.6 million in 2014 from 16.6 million in 2009 and 597,000 in 2005 - this is the number of visits made to health facilities in the respective years on the account of the NHIS for only outpatient cases. This is positive because people now visit the hospitals often for their healthcare needs. It reflects the improved health-seeking behaviour and outcomes of Ghanaians; • The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) paid an unprecedented GH¢1.073 billion in claims in 2014 as compared to GH¢748 million in 2013, GH¢362 million in 2009 and GH¢7.6 million in 2005. • Comparatively the claims payments in 2005 and 2014 represents a 14,018.4% increase. This exponential growth is a clear indication that the National Health Insurance Scheme is robust and serving the needs of Ghanaians The Authority is carrying out a number of reforms aimed at responding to the evolving needs of Ghanaians. These include: UTILISATION • The establishment of new Claims Processing Centres (CPCs) across the country. In 2010, the first CPC was established in Accra. In 2013, the CPC model was rolled out in Tamale, Cape Coast and Kumasi. The CPC in Accra takes care of claims from Greater Accra, Volta and Eastern Regions, while the CPC in Tamale manages claims from the NHIS Outpatient Utilisation Trend Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions. The CPC in Kumasi processes claims from Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions, and the CPC in Cape Coast takes care of Central and Western Regions. This has injected efficiency in the processing of claims payment.
