The process of enrolliment into the scheme
A group enrolls to become a scheme member by signing an MOU with the scheme and pays a membership fee of UGX 20,000. The group appoints a contact person who acts as the scheme coordinator and afterwards provides bio data of the beneficiaries to the scheme management by filling in an annual group/ family members’ details. The scheme issues a premium invoice/ bill to the group which is a total sum of individual group member premiums for one year. The group management pays the premiums as one lump sum or two installments for all its group members. The scheme registers the prospective beneficiaries by capturing their fingure prints. The group management makes a premium payment for each individual in the group. The scheme management issues the medical insurance cards and trains beneficiaries on their use. Group members (beneficiaries) with valid ID cards start accessing medical services from the contracted health care facilities.
Two months before the end of the group financial year, the scheme management issues a premiums bill for the following year.
