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 receiving timely payments, some GPs have been identified as overcharging and abusing the system.
The Ministry has taken measures to address these issues, holding back payments until claims are reconciled in cases of suspected abuse.
The Public-Private Partnership for the Free Medical Scheme was introduced as part of the Government's health and economic response strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic and currently includes 49 General Practitioners, Dental Practitioners, and Medical Laboratories with 64 branches across the country.
These findings indicate a need for continued monitoring to ensure the scheme's integrity and effectiveness.
