In continuation of Q4 review meeting with the Secondary Healthcare Facilities, the Executive Secretary Kano State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency Dr Rahila Aliyu Muktar reiterate commitment towards Healthcare Management of its enrollees.
Dr Rahila stressed that KSCHMA referral system is in line with World Health Organisations (WHO) standard, with a unique authorisation code which must be acquired before referring a patient. However there are emergency conditions the Agency allows Facilities to refer patients to the next level of care before requesting for code within a stipulated time. All diagnosis, services, medication and procedures must be within the scheme benefits package.
Dr Rahila said, Secondary Healthcare providers should request referral code via online using the approved KSCHMA portal or via text message.
“Effective referrals are crucial components of high quality patient care” Rahila lament.
