Ministry identifies anomalies and overcharging by some of the GPs under Free Medical Scheme

Ministry Identifies Anomalies in Free Medical Scheme

The Ministry of Finance has found that while the Public-Private Partnership for the Free Medical Scheme has been successful, with most General Practitioners being paid in a timely manner, some GPs have been identified as overcharging and showing anomalies.

The Ministry has a system in place to address such issues, where payments are held back and only released after claims are reconciled, in cases where GPs try to abuse the system.

The Public-Private Partnership for the Free Medical Scheme was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Government’s health and economic response strategy and has continued since then.
