Members of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) have up to Friday to select their out patient health facilities. This will also include those who wish to change their health facilities.
However those who are contented with the service of their current facilities are not obliged to change. So far the insurer has listed 1100 health facilities that members can choose from "All members are requested to select their preferred outpatient healthcare facility of their capacity as the principal member."
Currently there are 500 public hospitals and 600 private health institutions. NHIF mode of operation is that there is no limitation on the number of declared beneficiaries as well as no upper age making it to stand out as one of the best insurers in the country.
