Ministry Identifies Anomalies in Free Medical Scheme
The Ministry of Finance has found that while the Public-Private Partnership for the Free Medical Scheme has been successful, with most General Practitioners being paid in a timely manner, some GPs have been identified as having anomalies and overcharging.
The Ministry states that in such cases, payments are held back until claims are reconciled to prevent abuse of the system.
The Public-Private Partnership for the Free Medical Scheme was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Government's health and economic response strategy.
- 49 General Practitioners, Dental Practitioners, and Medical Laboratories are part of the scheme.
- 64 branches across the country participate in the initiative.
The initiative has continued beyond the pandemic, providing essential medical services.
