flag Healthcare providers urge faster NHI registration amid payment delays and rising costs.

flag The National Health Insurance Providers Association (NHIPA), representing 48 healthcare providers, is urging the government to fast-track its registration, citing months-long delays by the Department of Labour despite meeting the 15-member legal threshold. flag Doctors report being unpaid for two months, facing new $250–$500 monthly fees for electronic records, and feeling excluded from policy decisions critical to the NHI’s success. flag NHIPA and the Trade Union Congress warn these issues threaten patient care and program sustainability. flag While the government acknowledges payment backlogs and says disbursements are underway, providers demand transparent, respectful dialogue and oppose unilateral policy changes they call punitive.
