Ondo State Contributory Health Commission has commenced enrollment for dependants of Public Servants who had completed the physical capturing and enrollment under the Orange Health Insurance Scheme  (ORANGHIS).

Director-General of the Commission, Dr. Abiodun Oyeneyin disclosed this while speaking with The Hope in Akure

According to him, the process which is ICT based is on-going as the portal of the commission is being used for the upload.

Oyeneyin said that the criteria to fall under dependant in the Scheme is being a spouse of a public servant or a biological child that is younger than 18.

He explained that the capturing is important to ensure proper allocation of  hospital of their choice from list of accredited service providers made available by the commission.

Oyeneyin stated that data is key in ensuring preservation of prompt information as he postulated that by end of March, the exercise would have been completed giving all enrolled dependants access to qualitative healthcare without out of pocket payments across the state.

He added that the seamless and quick process of enrolling dependants is made possible as the commission has trained about 100 personnel for continuous enrollment of beneficiaries of ORANGHIS, and other  insurance schemes of the commission like  Sunshine Health Insurance Scheme (SUNSHIS) for the informal sector which will commence soon in the state.
