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 implemented a measure to address these issues, where payments are held back and only released after claims are reconciled in cases of suspected abuse.
The Public-Private Partnership for the Free Medical Scheme was launched as part of the Government's health and economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to operate with 49 General Practitioners, Dental Practitioners, and Medical Laboratories, and 64 branches across the country participating in the scheme.
