Under the new system, all SHA insurance claim approvals require fingerprint authentication, making it much more difficult to process claims without the patient's physical presence.
Duale said that more than 5,000 facilities had already been supplied with the machines, with an additional 3,000 set to be equipped by next week.
Duale said the rollout was prompted by numerous documented cases of fraud, including frequent multiple visits by the same individuals, questionable dependent registrations, and suspected collusion between people and health facilities to exploit the scheme.
