NHIA REVIEW OF RADIOTHERAPY TARIFF: IMPROVED CANCER CARE COVERAGE
The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has reviewed its tariff and coverage for radiotherapy services for cancer patients, in line with its strategic purchasing reforms and commitment to quality healthcare access.
Key changes:
🔹 Full coverage for radiotherapy
The previous ₦400,000 cap has been removed, and the 50:50 cost-sharing arrangement has been abolished.
🔹 Site-specific pricing
Radiotherapy tariffs will now vary according to the anatomical site being treated:
• Breast, Re**um, A**l, Cervix/Uterus, Soft Tissue/Bones — ₦900,000
• Prostate, Spine — ₦1,000,000
• Brain (primary), Lungs, Oesophagus, Stomach — ₦1,100,000
• Head and Neck — ₦1,200,000
• Metastasis — ₦850,000
The revised tariff takes immediate effect.
The NHIA has directed HMOs, accredited healthcare facilities and radiotherapy centres to comply fully with the revised tariff and ensure seamless, continuous and high-quality service delivery to NHIA enrollees.
