The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has rejected a proposal by Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale to block insurance claim pre-authorisations by doctors during official working hours.
Duale plans to direct the Social Health Authority (SHA) and Digital Health Authority (DHA) to reprogram insurance systems to reject claims pre-authorised by public doctors between 8 am and 5 pm, allowing such authorisations only during off-duty hours.
