Executive Director of HISPAG Frank Torblu has told Accra-based Joy FM, the situation is rather unfortunate.
"They are saying that they are not going to pay the providers until they have completed their investigations and we are saying that should the hospitals, clinics and maternity homes across the country also suspend provision of services to the generality of the people until that investigation is complete?" Frank Torblu asked.

The BNI began investigations into NHIA activities some six months ago at the instance of President John Mahama.
According to the BNI, some medical facilities have been falsifying documents and submitting bloated claims to the NHIA.
In some cases, officials of such medical facilities colluded with officials of the NHIA to defraud the authority.
