What is the essence of contributing?
Contributing prevents the burden of paying at the point of receiving healthcare services, especially in situations of limited funds.
How does the contribution work?
Contribution creates a pooled fund for healthcare service use, spreads financial risk and ensures sustainability so quality healthcare can be accessed when needed.
Where can I access these services?
Access starts from public and private primary healthcare facilities. Needs beyond primary-care capacity are referred to secondary and tertiary facilities as required.
What about individuals that cannot make contributions?
Support contribution may be provided for vulnerable persons through the Federal Government, the State Government, international donors and philanthropists.
How do you benefit at accredited healthcare facilities?
Everyone who registers and contributes receives an identity card for access at the healthcare service provider.
How soon can enrollees access healthcare services?
Enrollees can access services 60 to 90 days after confirmation of full contribution payment.
Who has responsibility for the programme?
The DSCHC regulates, implements and monitors the mandatory scheme and its operations for all residents of Delta State.
How are complaints handled?
Complaints from enrollees and healthcare providers are investigated effectively to ensure continued quality of service.
What governs the Commission?
Commission activities follow the Law establishing the Delta State Contributory Health Commission.
