SHA has launched a verification process for pending NHIF claims exceeding Sh10 million at Level 4 hospitals. The initiative, set to begin on September 21, 2026, targets healthcare facilities with outstanding claims inherited from the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund.
The Social Health Authority (SHA) announced the move through a notice issued by CEO Dr Mercy Mwangangi on September 17, 2026. The verification aims to ensure accurate documentation and compliance with claim requirements. Affected hospitals are required to prepare supporting records for inspection.
This exercise follows ongoing efforts to streamline healthcare funding and improve transparency. The SHA emphasized the need for thorough documentation to prevent financial discrepancies. No specific timeline for completion was provided.
The move reflects broader reforms in the healthcare sector, focusing on accountability and efficient resource allocation. Hospitals are expected to cooperate fully to meet the inspection requirements.
