NHIF CHARGES TO BE INCLUDED IN SCHOOL FEES

The office of the vice chancellor Moi University is planning to incorporate NHIF charges in school fees. Subscription charges are only four hundred and eighty shillings. Annual charges are six hundred shillings. This occurs as NHIF fraternity continues to educate students on the importance of having an insurance cover with NHIF. This is evident in the sensitization conference held today from 2 to 4pm at the student center conference room.

Your parents’ NHIF cover will only cover you up to the age of twenty six years. This shows that most students in campus should have their own NHIF cover. The cover of your parent shall not cover your child. There are no refunds if the cover is not utilized.

 “You have to pay the amount required for you to be covered and there is no way you are going to demonstrate in order to have the price subsidized,” Mrs.  Yatich a health officer from NHIF Eldoret branch said after the students suggested that they should subsidize the charges for students as they are unemployed.

 Mr. Omondi the MUSO chair supported the idea of paying hospital bills whenever they are referred for further medication. On the other hand Vidah Juma assistant secretary general said that NHIF should lower the charges up to 160 per students as it was initially.
