Stakeholders in the health sector have raised concerns over the effectiveness of the Sh100 billion digital superhighway, under the Social Health Authority (SHA), following reports of fraudulent claims.
This comes after Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale revealed that at least 31 hospitals have been implicated in fraud.
The facilities are accused of engaging in double billing, forceful admissions, falsifying claims, illegal sharing of patient codes, admitting ghost patients, bypassing pre-authorisation procedures, and abuse of patient codes.
Addressing the media at Afya House, Nairobi, on Monday, Duale said the hospitals operate in Kisumu, Kakamega, Busia, Homabay, Vihiga, Nakuru, Kajiado, Bungoma, Kiambu, Kilifi, Mandea and Wajir.
