Question of NHI payouts for next HoA
Meanwhile, the question about the amounts paid out to local healthcare providers will be asked of the Minister for Health and Social Development, Hon Ronnie W. Skelton (AL) at the next sitting of the House of Assembly.
Leader of the Opposition Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3) will want to know how much of the Twelve Million, Nine Hundred and Sixty-nine Thousand, Three Hundred and Six dollars ($12,969,306) already paid out to local private healthcare providers as of August 31st 2016, were paid to each provider by NHI.
The question was taken off the Order Paper at the last sitting of the HoA.
The Next House of Assembly Sitting is expected to be on November 21, 2016 and the answer is expected to be formally read at that time according to a senior NDP source.
The source did suggest that one of the reasons why the question was withdrawn is because there might have been a dispute between the NHI figures and the records at the Ministry of Health; however, no one was willing to go on record to confirm this.

This is done in the U S and other places.Doctors cannot overcharge in these instances.I have Blue Cross and if my doctor charges above and beyond the normal fee for any service,they are only reimbursed up to that amount and the insurance company tell me not to pay the excess.
Without previous years to go by we cannot simply draw conclusions from these numbers.
Otherwise the above information states nothing else than something we already knew, namely who the largest healthcare providers are.
The sad part is this was predictable and I expect a hike in contributions soon, well maybe after the next election.
Is the hospital now referring all their physical therapy patients there now? And maybe by Tania as she has cashed in over 100,000.
Am an employer and I always believe that dedicated staff should be part of the company. Production only happen when people are happy.
Ask any one of there staff, they would not have any good things to say.
will get me Melee but no change to the corrupt immorality of this government not even a year pass good and CROOKS done laughing to bank.
