Capitation methods has a direct effect on the amount of money

Currently, the highest amount that any contributor pays is KShs 320. This is for those earning KShs. 15,000 and above. However, with the introduction of this new health plan, the contributions will rise to KShs. 2,000 a month for those contributors earning more than KShs 100,000 a month. Those earning between KShs 50,000 a month and KShs 99,999 will make a contribution of KShs 1,500 to NHIF. Those earning between KShs 30,000 and KShs 49,999 will make a contribution of KShs 1000 to NHIF and those earning between KShs 25,000 and 29,999 will make a contribution of KShs 850 to NHIF. On the lower side, the minimum contribution will be KShs 150 for those earning less than KShs 6,000. Those in the informal sector will have the monthly contributions rise form KShs 160 per month to KShs 500 per month. Those who are not employed but would like to become members of NHIF will be able to pay KShs 300 a month LG help, These new payment are pending gazettement by the minister for Medical Services but have already caused an uproar since their publication in a Kenyan newspaper LG help. The current contributions to NHIF range from KShs 30 to KShs 320 only. Thus for the type of increase in contribution expected, the Government of Kenya will be faced by a number of hurdles and will need to understand the factors that will either make the new health management plan work or fail. This move by the government to introduce the Out-patient services administered through FFS and Capitation methods has a direct effect on the amount of money required to finance the whole process at hand.
